Radon Information Before & After Photos

The crew did a great job with this customer's encapsulation. They recently lost their spouse and wanted to take care of the radon levels in their home to make it as safe as possible. Our crew was able to lift that worry by encapsulating this crawl space giving them overall better indoor air quality.

What Does Radon Do?

Radon is actually a radioactive gas and in lengths of time could cause lung cancer if not mitigated. This was the client's first question when we met her online, she had her research but she believes to always leave it the experts. She had her home for a radon test and found out they had levels of 22! That's a big discovery for them as a family. Now, they decided to have it mitigated as soon as possible. It was a simple install where the system would run along in the garage and would exit at the back of the home. Everything went perfect!

Regardless of this client being in a nursing home, she still wanted her home protected from the harmful effects of radon. She had her home tested and returned with high levels so for their to protect her health and the future relatives who will stay in her home, she called Iowa Radon Defense and booked a radon mitigation install. She was happy with her move as despite being elderly, she didn't show any limitation in decision making regardless of age.

New Home Needed Radon Mitigation Installation

After the clients purchased their dream home, as new homeowners they were eager to move in. As part of their pre-move-in checklist, they decided to test for radon. The results showed high levels that came up to 10 pCi/L, this really caused significant concern. To protect their family's health, they quickly arranged for a radon mitigation system with Radon Defense Midwest. The clients are now enjoying their new home without worry, thanks to the effective radon mitigation installed.

Ranch Home Protected with Radon Mitigation System

The lovely couple - Pete and Holly are very nice and both teachers. They had a ranch-style house with a finished basement. The installation plan was a sump pit with drain tile. They did mention they only wanted a simple system with not much work. The team provided the best options. The sump pit is next to lift station and along garage wall. The route will be moving up, entering the garage through rim joist, then into attic. They also added a 16x25 BEZ for radon filtration. Happy with how it turned out!
