Simple Radon Installation in Milo, Iowa

This project should be a super simple 1-point system out of the sump pit. Homeowner purchases home a couple years ago and is in the middle of finishing the basement and wanted to have a mitigation system in place prior to any other finishing. Health concern was the priority. I took a photo of the side of the house where we are needing to exit, and homeowner agreed that this would be the best place as it is also away from their patio that looks out over the pond. Installation went well!

How to prevent radon?

This is a 1 point system that will be exiting out of the sump and out throught the garage. Homeowner looking to have the stack run close to the corner of the house so it can tuck in behind the garage door that opens if possible. Then vent out through the back side of the roof. The team advised him that this would all be possible but we also need to have enough room to run pipe as well as add the fan. Client agreed and he will also be adding an ERV into the laundry room. Inlet for air will be in this room as there is a patio out back. Was up in the air on where they would like the exhaust to come out. Also looking to have air suction from inside the house to help with circulation. Radon levels were at a 30 so it was really suggested to mitigation. They were actually a super nice couple who were very understanding.

This nice and accommodating family, worried about lung cancer risks, decided on radon mitigation as their solution. Their peace of mind skyrocketed as radon levels plummeted after a few days of installation. 

The client made a radon test, and levels were around 8 by her treadmill. She had a multilevel basement, so the team needs one point in lowest level and one thru wall for living room/work out room. The Team Lead told her since interior tile we could consolidate points and use less PVC, but if the client wants to put point in the sump - the team will go for it, will just need a couple more sticks of PVC but not coring thru floor. She also has a couple of dogs and hasn't had ducts cleaned. We advised her about our air duct cleaning service, and she was interested!

This client had her home tested and got levels of 23 -- which is entirely higher than other homes. She was worried if her family has been exposed but they are not experiencing any symptoms so she wanted to make sure it does not get worse in the future.
