This home radon levels measured over a whooping 50 pCi/L. I mean there are still higher levels out there, but can you imagine that amount of radon exposure daily? I guess not. The clients had a home monitor, and they barely checked it. When the time came, they heard the news about radon, they were so worried. They just moved in a month ago with a 10-month-old baby girl. This was a 5-point system with the radon fan out the north wall behind their A/C unit.
The owner is familiar with encapsulation from his insurance background, easily understood our mitigation proposal. Having used our services before, he spoke highly of us. The reason for his current call was a potential radon issue due to a past home addition. The homeowner was very cooperative and led me to the crawl space upon arriving. The team will implement a two-point system, one connecting to the crawl space and exiting through the back corner of the house. Considering aesthetics, the homeowner prefers the extraction to run inside the fence, along the gutter. He was happy as his demands were granted.
The lovely couple - Pete and Holly are very nice and both teachers. They had a ranch-style house with a finished basement. The installation plan was a sump pit with drain tile. They did mention they only wanted a simple system with not much work. The team provided the best options. The sump pit is next to lift station and along garage wall. The route will be moving up, entering the garage through rim joist, then into attic. They also added a 16x25 BEZ for radon filtration. Happy with how it turned out!
This client was called out during home inspection about needing a radon mitigation system if they were to develop or sell their home. The homeowner was half interested when he called and was eager to check on other options of how he can go about this in a cheaper way. The team offered him a 5% discount to compromise with his needs and he agreed to go ahead and set everything up. He provided all his details to get everything going. There were some issues with the sump pump due to mud, but our lead tech had his arm stretched out through to pull the bobber to start it. Everything worked out in the end. The homeowner did agree it was worth every penny.
Radon testing brought this family closer together. They worked as a team in making the decision to install a radon mitigation system, united in their commitment to ensuring a safe and healthy home for the whole family. The whole family is excited about the benefits it would bring!
