This project is a single-point system at Moby going out of the back side of the house. The HVAC system some pit are located in the center wall of the basement. Homeowner currently works downstairs and has a family which is the reason why they're looking to have a system there -- for extra protection. The sump pit is needed to be covered by a piece of plexiglass as I believe it is too small with where it is located to put an actual cover on. The homeowner did have interest in her filter budget was a concerned so could be worth a follow-up after the installation. He was a really straightforward but nice to talk to!

Custom Radon Mitigation, Breathe EZ Install, and Sump Upgrade for Unique Crawlspace Home

This homeowner took a big step toward cleaner air with a 2-point radon mitigation system, Breathe EZ air cleaner, and a sump pump replacement, all tailored to the unique layout of their home. One extraction point will be discreetly hidden in a closet, while the second will be placed in the crawlspace under the 3/4 seasons room, where a mix of slab and insulation made things tricky. An existing drywall-covered hole will be repurposed for coring to avoid extra disruption. The sump presented its own challenges due to a sump jet system. A lowered basin and domed lid were included to improve function and allow for proper sealing. The homeowner also requested a walkthrough of the Breathe EZ system to learn filter replacement. A full-service solution combining radon reduction, air purification, and water control; this home is now set up for long-term health and peace of mind.

The client, with a background in HVAC, discussed plans for his home, originally lifted and dropped back on a foundation, causing a spike in radon levels. With the downstairs undergoing renovation, he aims to hide the radon system in the ceiling near the joist, dropping it down about a foot and a half. Three extraction points are planned: one from the sump area, extending to a storage area, and the third running towards the staircase, exiting near the sliding door. The client will handle drywalling a portion himself, prioritizing a concealed installation. He'll be present during the installation for any adjustments or complications. Given initial levels of 20 and occasional deviations, a cautious approach involves implementing a 3-point system.

When is Radon Mitigation Necessary?

Our client had this booked ahead of time but he was rushed to the hospital under critical condition. On these circumstances, the team tries their best to make sure everything is convenient to the client and won't add stress to the situation.

The client called us when he got home and wanted to get something going. He wants the system to be exiting the house out of the small electrical closet in the corner. Either that or pulling from the sump due to tiling lines. He specifically requested a Breathe EZ for layered health. As a heads up, the client really liked the sound of the Sedona but wasn't ready to pull the trigger do to total project cost. He will definitely contact us back once he is ready!

This was a simple installation as the homeowner's wife was really concerned about the high radon exposure during the winter season. She called up Iowa Radon Defense and asked for a quote. They were happy with the pricing and discussed the drafted plan with them. Everything was virtual as they knew their home very well and provided all the photos needed for the team to reference to. They will be on vacation during Thanksgiving, so they wanted this to be done before that starts. The wife was happy about the team cleaning up before leaving as she thought she would be doing it. Everything went well!
