This was a big old farm house and when the team saw the home's structure, it was indeed a challenge installation a radon mitigation system or ERV. As they will need to core through the brick exterior, they will have also need to cut some ceiling out in various locations to run ERV ducts over the HVAC and interior walls. This was fully explained to the customer and they definitely agreed. The team made sure no further breaking will be needed and it will not be damaging the home's aesthetic. We have done proper crawlspace encapsulation and ERV installation for his basement. The basement wasn't really livable but since his dogs mostly stay there, he wants to get them protected from any radon exposure. Everything went well!
This was a simple installation and the client found us through good reviews in Google. He wanted radon mitigation and duct cleaning on the spot along with paying for everything too. It was a 2-point system out the south wall west of the basement egress. The team ran the pipe outside the home to the west side where the radon fan will be located. The home was small and on a single level with good access to the crawlspace. Everything turned out fine and the client was really happy!
The client has an unfinished basement and would consider transforming it to his own personal office or utility room. He had a radon test before but was a little hesitant and tried to get another one. Turned out with same results. He wanted to mitigate as soon as possible as he is about to finish the construction for his basement. Luckily, the team had a sump and interior drain tile to work with. Customer did offer to handle the sealing of wall joints and anything around the plumbing since it's within the construction plan. Everything went well!
Adam, a nice yet socially awkward state software developer, resides in a small split-entry home with a confined HVAC room. Advised to move the washer and dryer closer to the wall for more workspace, he agreed. The extraction point is planned sub-slab near the plumbing stack, going through a studded wall low to enter the garage, routing up and under the ceiling, then coring through the garage wall with the fan placed on the side of the house. Presented BEZ, UVC, and DC options; after Adam selected option 1, he paused, expressing potential interest in something else. Despite financial options, he deemed it already more than expected to spend for his safety. With radon levels at 6, he's been learning about health risks and values a knowledgeable company. Adam appreciates being educated, allowing us to play videos and inform him during the consultation.
This customer's home had a really nice crawlspace to start with her radon mitigation system. We had installed 2 EZ breathe filters on her HVAC systems. We tried to hide every pipe route as much as possible and she was happy about it.
