Iowa Radon Defense Before & After Photos

A single mother in from Waterloo, IA had concerns about her children's health due to radon exposure. She contacted Iowa Radon Defense and asked for a free estimate. The budget was not enough at first, but little did she know financing worked out well as an option. Not only did the team mitigated the radon issue in her home but also provided her with resources to keep her family safe overall.

This was a genuinely nice woman to talk to, really calm. It was a straightforward radon mitigation system to install and nothing too shabby. She was really interested in how it works to protect her health and home. We originally quoted her 4 years ago and she wasn't ready. After a period of talking through her peers and family, she gave in and decided to get her own.

This project is fairly straightforward with a 2-point system. The reason why this project needs to be pushed out for an install is that he is finishing a porch / sunroom small area on the side of his home. Homeowner, Austin, wanted the contractor to pretty much finish this project up before installing our radon system. The team did let him know that we operate separately it will not interfere with anything that his contractor would be doing if they were finishing up. There is an interesting some pit that needs to be sealed that isn't all that deep. There was some hesitation on where to put the extraction point but the team made it work. A recommendation of going out directly on the wall near the sun pit although he mentioned the possibility of running line to the far side of the home. The homeowner wanted to make sure there is no entryway for radon in his home.

This installation was referred by one of satisfied clients, they needed help as their home does not have much space to place a system but they know we can work something out. We didn't disappoint once we saw the client's 3-chamber home. The client's crawlspace was decent enough to work with and did not give us a difficult time on how it should be placed. They even requested crawlspace encapsulation on the spot. Everything went well!

The client, with a background in HVAC, discussed plans for his home, originally lifted and dropped back on a foundation, causing a spike in radon levels. With the downstairs undergoing renovation, he aims to hide the radon system in the ceiling near the joist, dropping it down about a foot and a half. Three extraction points are planned: one from the sump area, extending to a storage area, and the third running towards the staircase, exiting near the sliding door. The client will handle drywalling a portion himself, prioritizing a concealed installation. He'll be present during the installation for any adjustments or complications. Given initial levels of 20 and occasional deviations, a cautious approach involves implementing a 3-point system.
