Before & After Photos

We have two options with the soffit and exhaust pipes. This customer preferred the external exhaust fan with a soffit penetration aesthetic and roof boot in McCook, NE.

A Client's Radon Dilemma

Meeting Judy and her boyfriend Ron was lively. Despite being elderly, they were full of questions and stories, curious about every detail of the radon mitigation plan. Their basement, with levels of 17, felt damp and musty, while readings upstairs ranged from 5 to 7. Health concerns loomed large. The basement, half finished, had a small sump pit, and the sump pump shared space with a toilet and floor drain. Plans included adding plexiglass and two extraction points: one in the corner and another near the drain. To minimize noise, the vent would exit near the bathroom, away from Judy’s bedroom. With Judy’s severe allergies, the team also offered options of filtration with Breathe EZ regardiless of their numerous air purification units. They were happy about that option and had it installed. 

When mitigating radon gas from the home, we look for every possible entry point. This customer had high radon levels in the home, and two exposed sump pits side by side. In order to seal the sump pits properly, we installed custom covers with the radon mitigation system in order to reduce the radon levels and make the home healthy.

A Hidden Danger Beneath

This client's ranch home, with its finished basement and dirt crawlspace, harbored an invisible threat: radon levels of 13. The only unfinished area was a small HVAC room, with no sump pit, just a wastewater grinder. The client, already facing a lung mass, needed swift action. Plans were made to install a sub-slab extraction point by the water heater, routing into the crawlspace. The joists could have worked for venting, but the insulation, held by chicken wire mesh, complicated things. Instead, two cores would be drilled through the foundation walls. The client would clear out debris beforehand, and we’d encapsulate the space, setting a second extraction point to vent through the soffit. Everything worked out as planned.

High Radon Levels Worry Family Home

Levels of 7.2 were detected in this ranch house with a half finished basement. The installation type is a sub slab extraction point next to plumbing stack on back of house next to sink and refrigerator. It was how the client imagined so it would not be eating much enough space in another section of the home. They also added Breathe EZ for better filtration of radon. They wanted to make sure this should until retirement! We did agree!
