Simple Radon Fix for a Basement: One-Point Radon Mitigation

Justin and his wife had owned their home for about a year when radon became impossible to ignore. Their basement was half dirt, half concrete, and even after encapsulating the dirt side, the levels stayed high. With indoor air quality already a concern from a past home, they decided it was time to fix the problem, not chase it. A one-point radon mitigation system will be installed beneath the vapor barrier near the sump, then routed up and out the east exterior wall. A little extra taping may be needed where the barrier meets concrete, but the layout is simple, effective, and built to bring levels down. Sometimes one smart step changes everything. Here, it’s clean air, lower radon, and peace of mind finally settling in.

3-Point Mitigation + Sump Upgrade for a Health-Focused Homeowner

With radon levels ranging from the mid-20s to low-30s, this install required a 3-point mitigation system to effectively draw down levels throughout the home. We’ll be exiting through the rim joist on the far corner, providing a direct and efficient route for airflow and pressure reduction. The homeowner also requested a new sump pump with a full discharge line run, so the team will need to bring materials to complete the PVC line and cap the existing sump discharge. Because indoor air quality mattered just as much as radon, especially with the client being a registered nurse, she added a 16x20 Breathe Easy filter upgrade for healthier, cleaner air moving forward.

Radon Pump System Installation

This client had tested for radon a few years ago but did not mitigate. Thinking that it would affect his whole family's health in a latter time, he decided to check with Radon Defense Midwest again if he could get the initial offer he got. The team gave him the best options for his home's structure and he was happy about the price point along with the 10-year warranty that comes with the system. He was happy he made this decision!

Andrew did a great job with this 2 system mitigation install. The customer's levels were at a 33 when they tested!! Now they can have peace of mind knowing that their home and indoor air quality is much safer after the install was done!!
