Radon Mitigation - Pella, IA
This couple were genuinely nice. The husband used to farm and then worked in IT. They have an acreage and had been concerned with radon for a long time as they believe his mom died from radon lung cancer. He installed a mitigation system himself back in the late 80s at this house, but he is not that confident if it was effective. The fan is in the basement ceiling and vents right outside the basement door about 7' above the concrete. He said the fans still run. It draws from the sump pit which also has plumbing and line and something else that lead to it. Sealed up and not accessible. The team had some discussions with the husband about options to utilize for a new extraction point if that's possible instead of near footing in that room. Two chambers, there's a large addition that is finished upstairs with a workshop below with a garage door. The installation turned out fine and he was happy that he spoke to a radon professional!
