Radon Information Before & After Photos

Radon Gas Remediation in Nevada, Iowa

The client, Paige was super nice and has a baking business from home and even gave the tech on duty a cupcake. She and her husband moved into house last fall. She did two charcoal test kits, one in finished space of basement was the result was between 3-5 in storage room with sump pits. At the end she expressed some concern on levels and we discussed proper testing location and the tech gave her a charcoal test kit and instructed the ideal way of testing. The two sump pits in were in an unfinished storage room. One has exterior drain tile and one has no tile. Install domed lids on both. The tech made a sub slab extraction point on side wall next to plumbing stack and route up and exit through rim joist along mid point in wall. The main concern was Paige has bad allergies and is sensitive to mold. The team checked and found out she had high humidity reading in her basement and advised to take action with the right service team. Paige was happy to know about this and satisfied how her system turned out!

Andrew and John did a great job installing this new sump and domed covers for our customers.

The client made a radon test, and levels were around 8 by her treadmill. She had a multilevel basement, so the team needs one point in lowest level and one thru wall for living room/work out room. The Team Lead told her since interior tile we could consolidate points and use less PVC, but if the client wants to put point in the sump - the team will go for it, will just need a couple more sticks of PVC but not coring thru floor. She also has a couple of dogs and hasn't had ducts cleaned. We advised her about our air duct cleaning service, and she was interested!

This job was quite a challenge since it was a complicated installation. Our team has some difficulty looking for a better routing system for the ERV (Energy Recovery Ventilator) but we still made sure the options are discussed with the customer. We were able to find a work around with the routing and the customer was happy about it since they are to build a shelf at some point. The home had a very interesting design and basement structure. All went smoothly! 

This was a real estate transaction as the homeowner had already sold the home and finished building her new one. The new owner requested the fact that the home should be coming with a radon mitigation system installed. They booked with Iowa Radon Defense for the installation and the real estate agent approved it right away. Everything was at the buyer's expense but as long as it's quality, they're okay with it.
