Before & After Photos

Homeowner just moved in the home last month and needed help with the old mitigation system. There were fairly large cracks into the foundation which need to be sealed. It was a huge home and we did discuss his options for replacement as it would be a more practical choice. He agreed and went on decided to have the fan placed outside of the home this time. Homeowner also asked about duct cleaning as a I just moved into the house within the last few months and told me that air flow seem to be an issue. There is a room that is painted blue in the back of the house apparently has no air float to it. 

This client noticed persistent humidity issues in his basement and suspected radon concerns lurking beneath their floors. Worried about the family's health, he sought assistance from Iowa Radon Defense. Upon inspection, the team discovered high radon levels and inadequate ventilation as the main problem. To address this, they recommended installing an Energy Recovery Ventilator (ERV) to improve indoor air quality and a sump lid to prevent radon entry. This eager client is ready to safeguard the health of his loved ones, agreed to the solution. With Iowa Radon Defense's expertise, their home became a safer haven, free from radon worries and humidity worries.

This was originally designed as a 1 point system before the radon test results came back. The results shown levels of 20-21 from a post short term test. The customer called and asked what they should do so we added an additional extraction point to their project. It’ll be in the same room and still same system designed but Rusty, our Lead Technician will need to make a judgement call on where to put the second point in - reason why we recommend radon professionals for this. The client's husband was just diagnosed with lung cancer so they’re especially sensitive to this and every detail.

This installation was referred by one of satisfied clients, they needed help as their home does not have much space to place a system but they know we can work something out. We didn't disappoint once we saw the client's 3-chamber home. The client's crawlspace was decent enough to work with and did not give us a difficult time on how it should be placed. They even requested crawlspace encapsulation on the spot. Everything went well!

The client, with a background in HVAC, discussed plans for his home, originally lifted and dropped back on a foundation, causing a spike in radon levels. With the downstairs undergoing renovation, he aims to hide the radon system in the ceiling near the joist, dropping it down about a foot and a half. Three extraction points are planned: one from the sump area, extending to a storage area, and the third running towards the staircase, exiting near the sliding door. The client will handle drywalling a portion himself, prioritizing a concealed installation. He'll be present during the installation for any adjustments or complications. Given initial levels of 20 and occasional deviations, a cautious approach involves implementing a 3-point system.
