Iowa Radon Defense Before & After Photos

Radon Testing Available in Boone, Iowa

The O'Brien family recently discovered elevated radon levels in their basement. With little ones they have around, they didn't hesitate to install a radon mitigation system with us. This is a 1-point system that will be out of the corner of the home. There's also a Breathe EZ that will be added to HVAC system. There are multiple chambers on this home but homeowner and told me that he was possibly selling within the next couple years so the need of the system as well. There are also too small inaccessible crawl spaces so there is no warranty. Radon levels were a six to seven and homeowner said that he wanted to start with a single point before addressing other chambers within a home. Now, they can breathe easy knowing their home is protected from this invisible threat. Peace of mind is priceless!

Radon Mitigation is a Home Inspection Need

This client had an old radon mitigation installed in 2013 when the team checked, it was no longer working! Homeowner decided to have it replaced with a new one as he is planning to have the house appraised and his home inspector friend suggested to have his radon mitigation system checked first as he observed it's old age. The team installed on the same spot and educated client on how it should be maintained. He opted for a fan cover for maximum durability. 

The technician made a work around for this home as the crawlspace was really tight and the homeowner wanted a single point system. Gladly, there was a sump basin to start with into the soffit. This was discussed with the client and there was a need of drilling an additional hole for the system to fit, client wasn't happy about it but didn't have much of a choice as the draft discussed was not possible due to the truss being there in the attic. The situation was settled, and the client was happy on how it turned out!

This home radon levels measured over a whooping 50 pCi/L. I mean there are still higher levels out there, but can you imagine that amount of radon exposure daily? I guess not. The clients had a home monitor, and they barely checked it. When the time came, they heard the news about radon, they were so worried. They just moved in a month ago with a 10-month-old baby girl. This was a 5-point system with the radon fan out the north wall behind their A/C unit. 

Radon Mitigation Best Method in Indianola, Iowa

Went over a few different design options with the clients who are extreme Hawkeye fans -- they settled on a sub slab extraction point in the finished closet of one of their kids in the basement. Room closest to the back patio. Installation was perfect!
