This project was a little challenging since these were environmentally conscious homeowners. They selected a radon mitigation system to align with their commitment to a green and safe lifestyle. The team educated them on our eco-friendly approach along with the long-term health benefits that radon mitigation brings. They were convinced and decided that they would do everything to have their health protected while saving the earth. They were really happy with this decision.
John is a police officer and has two daughters that live in the basement. His wife died of cancer 1.5 years ago and he bought the house this spring. Radon levels of 9 were found and he is very concerned for his family's health. A large cement crawlspace with access from basement under stairs is a good start, it's next to HVAC unit 1. Extraction point here then enter crawlspace, second point in crawlspace and exit home in L portion of crawlspace. We installed muffler and a radon fan housing cover.
This client initially requested a design on how the radon mitigation system would look like in his house first. We gave him a draft along with the explanation how the pipes would route in and out of the home. He only wanted a simple install, something that would protect from exposure.
The client was very approachable and suggested a lot. He has a good idea of where the system will go so the team made it happen for him. The crawlspace was a challenge since it's inaccessible. It has an old window for an access point. The team installed a single point system and made it work regardless of the challenge in crawlspace. Client was really happy!
The clients were a nice, retired couple. They invested in this ranch house as their retirement home with a fully finished basement near the lake. Before moving in, they had to test for radon as they have been seeing the need everywhere, especially with elderly... It turned out the levels were high! They called in for Iowa Radon Defense as they don't want to ruin this beautiful summer home and the memories they want to make. The radon mitigation system was a sump pit with no pump. The team utilized the pit for extraction and perforated holes in the side. They had an L-shaped crawlspace, so it was a bit of a challenge. Everything was well done, and they liked it.
