Customized Radon Solution for a Handy Homeowner with Specific Needs

For this two-point radon mitigation project, the system was carefully designed to respect both the home’s layout and the homeowner’s specific requests. With elevated radon levels and a finished basement, the system includes one extraction point beneath the stairs and a second near the basement’s exit wall—both routed discreetly and exiting near the home’s AC unit.

What made this install unique was the homeowner’s active involvement. As a skilled DIYer, he chose to core joist holes himself for cleaner pipe routing and even offered to repurpose an old dryer vent as an exit point. Our team supported his input while ensuring performance and compliance.

Andrew did a great job encapsulating this customer's crawlspace to help lower their radon levels

Jim's basement workshop felt like a man cave – except for the worry about radon. A recent radon test confirmed his fears: dangerous levels of 25 were seeping in.  He envisioned his grandkids playing down there one day, and the thought chilled him more than the radon itself.  The technician explained how a system installed in the utility room would trap radon at its source and vent it safely outside.  He pictured this space as a safe, healthy space, the worry replaced by the comforting hum of the new system – a quiet protection against a silent threat.

This client spends most of his time in his garage and wanted something to protect him from radon exposure as it was on the news their area is considered high levels. He called Iowa Radon Defense for professional radon mitigation services and he was not wrong with his decision!
