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!

This client had multiple radon tests conducted on the main level of his home and returned with levels of 8. He has an unfinished space in basement. He mentioned in the winter he had levels as high as 12 on the main level. The install will be a one chamber basement and a dirt crawlspace with a heavy layer of gravel over it was later added as an addition with master suite above it. The opening from basement to crawlspace is 2'x2' wand the next access point is the sump pit with interior drain tile. Currently the floor drain leads to this, and a brown water pipe from his washing machine goes to this. No discharge line or pump, but a tile that lets water flow naturally outside and daylights. The client is also going to have a one way valve or flange installed on floor drain and pipe that leads outside. The final exit will be on backside of bathroom and bedroom closet. The client also requested a radon fan cover. 

This project will be a challenging one as a set of expectation. There is a super small portion of the basement that will need an extraction point and small slab that will need a horizontal extraction point that is towards under the stairs. The homeowner will start working from home so she needs all the protection she should get. The challenge was going to be the extraction point from outside the house. The technician will most likely be going to need to run a line through the crawl space hole and out through the far side of that. The good thing is that it is currently covered with clean space but is a tighter fit and uncomfortable. The homeowner didn't want much damage as it would cost her extra to repair and it no longer fits her budget. She was looking to see what the radon system could do before going down and encapsulation avenue. 

Radon Remediation in Adel, Iowa

This is a single 1 point system that will be run on the outside of the corner of the house. The only difference here is that we will need to tie into the existing waterproofing system that was in the home. That being said, she had received multiple quotes from competitors and thought about it a little, she did like what we could offer best. Carey, the tech, did have to battle this scenario a little bit but ultimately the client agreed and move forward. The client helped moving some things along the way and we discussed the ideal position of the system. The installation went smooth!
