This home required a one-point radon mitigation system installed on the back side of the house. Our team placed the extraction point in the unfinished basement, exiting near the HVAC system for a clean and efficient layout. A small notch in the rim joist allowed for an easy up-and-out installation. With plenty of space in the basement, the project was straightforward and ensured the home is now protected against dangerous radon levels.
While finishing their lower level, the Pals family planned to create new bedrooms for their kids. Before completing the project, they decided to test for radon to ensure a safe living space. The results showed elevated radon levels, which can pose serious health risks, especially for children. Wanting to protect their family from radon exposure, they reached out to us for a professional radon mitigation system. Their lower level is not only ready for new bedrooms but is also safe and radon-free, giving the Pals peace of mind as their kids enjoy their new space.
The homeowner works in medicine and is highly focused on the health and safety of her family, especially with children regularly playing in the basement. She has lived in the home for four years and recently began tracking radon with an electronic monitor. Over the past month, radon levels have averaged around 18 pCi/L, which is well above the EPA action level. This has increased urgency to install a radon mitigation system to lower levels and protect long-term health. Reducing radon is a priority to create a safer basement environment and improve overall indoor air quality for the entire family.
This client's reason why he decided to get a radon mitigation system installed in his home was really sad but we always believe we need to move forward. He lost his wife last year and would like to consider selling his home. Part of the reason to sell a home quickly is it should have a radon mitigation system. So he made the decision as early as today so he would no longer worry when the time comes that he is fully decided in the future. We made sure the installation and process were easy for him.
For this young couple, creating a healthier home environment carries extra meaning as they navigate life with a 9-year-old daughter who has cancer. Wanting to take proactive steps for their family's well-being, they decided to address the radon levels in their home and see how much they could improve them. The planned radon mitigation system will run up and out through the north side of the house near the air conditioning unit, where electrical access is nearby. The homeowners also plan to address the crawlspace after the initial installation and monitor the radon readings afterward.
