This project is fairly straightforward with a 2-point system. The reason why this project needs to be pushed out for an install is that he is finishing a porch / sunroom small area on the side of his home. Homeowner, Austin, wanted the contractor to pretty much finish this project up before installing our radon system. The team did let him know that we operate separately it will not interfere with anything that his contractor would be doing if they were finishing up. There is an interesting some pit that needs to be sealed that isn't all that deep. There was some hesitation on where to put the extraction point but the team made it work. A recommendation of going out directly on the wall near the sun pit although he mentioned the possibility of running line to the far side of the home. The homeowner wanted to make sure there is no entryway for radon in his home.
This client was a close friend of our techs but no special treatment here! We did check their levels first and advised the ideal system for their home. Nathan's parents would be moving with him soon. He wants to make sure his home is overall protected from radon exposure. This home has an interior system that was going to exit through the peak of the roof in the garage. Utility room is only sharing a wall with the garage but they have a metal roof. We were really careful as we still don't want to destroy the aesthetic of the home. This needed to be a 2-point system to begin with as the team was informed that their levels returned around 20s. Pretty high. Originally designed 1 point prior to hearing that and adjustments have already been made.
It all started when our team left an Eco blue with Nathan as their parents down the road were looking into putting a system in depending on numbers. Nathan is a cool guy and Rusty knows through a close mutual friend. This home has an interior system that was going to exit through the peak of the roof in the garage. Utility room is only sharing a wall with the garage but they have a metal roof. Exit out into the garage and try and find an exit point that doesn't look funky through the front of the home. Nathan is also after looks, so the team needs to be careful! Their levels returned below 20's. The team checked once more and Rusty realized that the home DOES NEED to be a two point system. Originally designed 1 point prior to hearing that and adjustments have already been made. The homeowners don't really care where we put the two points as long as they aren't really in the way of walking around in room.
This is a single point system in the basement that is fairly open and going out the back side of the home. It will need to go out through the rim joist on whatever looks best on the backside of the home. Carey - the Project Specialist was not able to get a photo of the back to two in the appointment was so it will be up to the client's judgment where it looks best. The team can make it work with her preference anyway due to the allowance in the room where the radon mitigation system will be set. There's no sump it downstairs so we can place it wherever for an extraction point. It was an easy install as the client was cooperative!
This client was originally thinking about putting a system in a year ago but the contractor was some random company and told them it was a 5-6 month waiting process. Not with us! They also mentioned seeing us at the Iowa State Fair and wanted to give us a shot. They did say we priced higher but also offered other options and a better design based on their radon levels of 15. The installation was 2 point system that will be along wall walking down the stairs. It will then route out an exit through the tiny storage room to the left of the stairs and out the garage in the insert portion towards the back. The client was a super nice guy and wanted pure reassurance that the radon mitigation system is worth. He was happy how everything turned out!
