Why do you need to install a radon mitigation if you have low levels?

The client had aging parents living with them and wanted to ensure the air quality in their home was as safe as possible. After researching radon, they decided to test their home and found low levels but still wanted to do prevention as they are concerned about the potential health risks to their parents, they opted to install a mitigation system. The customer felt a sense of relief knowing they had taken an important step to safeguard their family’s health, especially for their more vulnerable loved ones. This is a big decision that leads to a great investment to health!

Andrew and Jordan did a great job with this encapsulation and mitigation system. 

Lakefront Log Cabin Gets Discreet Radon Mitigation Without Sacrificing Aesthetic

Tucked away at the bottom of a steep gravel drive, a beautiful two-story log cabin overlooking the lake was experiencing elevated radon levels of 11.6. With no warranty on levels and a fully finished basement, the homeowner took proactive steps to ensure the safety of the space. A single sub-slab extraction point was installed in the HVAC room, with careful planning around washer/dryer placement to maximize effectiveness. The system was routed discreetly—cored through the poured wall and run behind exposed exterior logs to preserve the cabin’s rustic charm. Though no one was home during the installation, everything was carefully coordinated. The homeowner also invested in a 20x25 BreatheEZ filter and UVC light system for their primary residence in Des Moines.

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.
