Radon Testing and Mitigation in Muscatine, Iowa

This is a 1-point system out of the utility room in the house. There is no sump as the team checked the home. The client has multiple kids he cares of -- reason why they are getting a mitigation system. They also mentioned about adding Breathe EZ into the mix as they heard some reviews about it. They were a close-knit family so it wasn't really hard communicating in terms of how the process would go. They would be considering duct cleaning in the future. 

This is a single point system in the basement that is fairly open and going out the back side of the home. It will need to go out through the rim joist on whatever looks best on the backside of the home. Carey - the Project Specialist was not able to get a photo of the back to two in the appointment was so it will be up to the client's judgment where it looks best. The team can make it work with her preference anyway due to the allowance in the room where the radon mitigation system will be set. There's no sump it downstairs so we can place it wherever for an extraction point. It was an easy install as the client was cooperative!

What is Radon in a House or Home?

Radon is a radioactive gas that has no smell, colour or taste. Radon is produced from the natural radioactive decay of uranium, which is found in all rocks and soils. Radon can also be found in water. Radon escapes from the ground into the air, where it decays and produces further radioactive particles. Those particles can be exposed to humans and cause lung cancer in the long run. A radon mitigation is needed to have this prevented. 

This is a single point system that will be going out in the corner of the house facing the neighbor. There are also some cracks in the basement in which the homeowner said that he would be filling in. There is a fairly large crack over towards that exterior basement door at troubles into the little music room that they created. Guarantee rate on levels. His contract shows and he agreed with me that he understood that this was okay and understood that it was a place right now and could come into His home. There are three open holes for plumbing that are Old Clay tiles that need to be sealed up. One looks like a toilet might have gone on it the second one is a open hole and third one is under the carpet and the little band area. Homeowner agreed that the team will be sealing it up with plexiglass. Everything went well as expected!

Radon Testing for Home in Harper, Iowa

This was a single point system that will go around the over hand. Homeowner has a metal roof and has been passed down from generation to generation as part of the farm. Their levels are under 4 but borderline, explained to them that it still not a safe level and they are doing this partial for their kids and part for preventative measures for the next generation who lives there. This home is at grade for where we need to exit. There is an older egress window that we can look to exit from. Homeowner also is looking for an Aspen upstairs to clean the air as they have a young kiddo and need a Sedona and stand as there is standing water and condensation in the laundry room. He is very protective with his family's health which we definitely agree on his measures! Amazing!
