Radon Mitigation in Minburn, Iowa

Julie was very nice and just moved into the house with her family a month ago. Levels of 4.0 so want to address radon for health concerns, but more concerned with indoor air quality. Family has allergies, asthma, and one has a weakened immune system. Upon inspection it was a modular house placed on poured foundation basement and wood floor joists. The agreed installation type was a sub slab extraction point along back wall in the middle, exit home through rim joist near AC unit and route up and around soffit. The team did educate the customer that the humidity was high and there was a dehumidifier in basement, so we discussed Sanidry Sedona, and she plans to do this in the future. They will be doing an addition later this spring and knocking outside wall and extending house and basement about 20' and will later finish basement. It was also very cold in the basement and there wasn't any insulation. She gave her dates when the techs would come back to have another round of inspection regarding the proper ventilation of her home. 

Discovering high radon levels in their home after a test, this family acted swiftly. Installing a mitigation system not only lowered radon levels significantly but also made them advocates for radon awareness in the neighborhood. Their experience highlights the importance of regular radon testing. They encourage that it's better to add it as a part of home maintenance. We were happy about their advocacy and so were they with the installation!

This home will have a 2-point system in the corner of the basement near the shower. There are two some bits. One is on the far side of the basement that needs to be sealed up with a dome cover and the second one is on the right hand side of the basement that needs to be sealed up with plexiglass. This is due to the fact that it is smaller. Homeowner is looking to finish the majority of his basement at some point in time so is looking for an attraction point to come out of the sump with the black cover and second extraction point in and around that corner area due to elevated right on levels. The homeowner is primarily worried about upcoming health concerns if he doesn't act on radon now.

Will a Radon Mitigation System Appraise My Home's Value?

This client is preparing to sell their home, knew that high radon levels could attract potential buyers as per recent real estate articles. He knew he had radon but only made the decision today as it helps a property's image to be sold. He also had a home inspection, which advised the same thing. He requested a simple system since his home had an inaccessible crawlspace to begin with. The team installed the system on each side of the block wall in the basement, connected together to go out the patio. It has been proven that a radon mitigation system increases the home's value and attracting more offers.

This will be a 2-point system one of which is running from the sump in the utility room. A line that needs to be run to the other side of the utility room and through the joists on the right hand side. Rusty - Team Leader did let the homeowner know that worst case scenario we might need to cut through the drywall in order to fasten the pipe. The homeowner said that it would be fine as he had a drywall coming to finish part of his house in a few weeks. This client was really fun to work with, he was really flexible and understood what's best for his home even if it comes with additional extractions to install his system.
