Iowa Radon Defense Before & After Photos

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!

The owner is familiar with encapsulation from his insurance background, easily understood our mitigation proposal. Having used our services before, he spoke highly of us. The reason for his current call was a potential radon issue due to a past home addition. The homeowner was very cooperative and led me to the crawl space upon arriving. The team will implement a two-point system, one connecting to the crawl space and exiting through the back corner of the house. Considering aesthetics, the homeowner prefers the extraction to run inside the fence, along the gutter. He was happy as his demands were granted.
