Radon Information Before & After Photos

Iowa Radon Defense was a savior for this busy professional who had recently moved to Garner, Iowa. The client really liked the rapid response and efficient mitigation results the company promises which allowed them to focus on their career with one less worry in their life – high radon levels in their home. It was not a complicated installation as the system was meant to be placed in the utility room and connected with an exit point in the corner. The crawlspace was a decent size, so everything went well.

The home was recently built in 2020 and homeowner is very concerned about air quality in the house has he believes that quote "it will add multiple years onto my life". I ran through essentially everything other than an ERV and the homeowner was on board. He said now that he has a couple kids he doesn't really care what happened to him but wants to make sure his kids are taken care of for the future. He elected for an aspen EVC light and breathe easy. We love the fact he is worrying about the safety for his whole family regardless if they don't have high radon levels. Homeowner is very flexible, the installation was agreed to be around the garage way out.

Julie was very nice and just moved into the house with her family a month ago. Levels of 4.0 so want to address radon for health concerns, but more concerned with indoor air quality. Family has allergies, asthma, and one has a weakened immune system. Upon inspection it was a modular house placed on poured foundation basement and wood floor joists. The agreed installation type was a sub slab extraction point along back wall in the middle, exit home through rim joist near AC unit and route up and around soffit. The team did educate the customer that the humidity was high and there was a dehumidifier in basement, so we discussed Sanidry Sedona, and she plans to do this in the future. They will be doing an addition later this spring and knocking outside wall and extending house and basement about 20' and will later finish basement. It was also very cold in the basement and there wasn't any insulation. She gave her dates when the techs would come back to have another round of inspection regarding the proper ventilation of her home. 

This client was diagnosed with lung cancer and is very vulnerable to harmful environmental pollutants since a portion of his lung was removed last month. With radon being a cause of lung cancer, he made sure his two-chamber home was protected for his health. He is a possible radon advocate as he shared with us his journey on how his situation has come to. Very beautiful family! 

This is an interior system job and design changed a few times while the team was there. There is a closet to the bottom of the stairs that we will look to run an interior line up from. There is a closet in the guest bedroom on the upper floor to run up through and hide in. The radon fan will go through attic into back of home if possible, depending on crawl room in the attic. Not the largest attic space to get into and the access is in one of the bedrooms. Tricky project but the client is really nice!
