Radon Mitigation - New Sharon, IA
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.

This was more complex than we thought it would be as we are looking to extract out of the utility room. Homeowner is finishing home and will like to run the PVC line along the listing ductwork and out through the rim joist and virtually how the PVC in the Sill plate. The team took some pictures and mark them up and read to indicate where he was thinking about running the pvc. He told me that he would have that existing pools cord and I told him that there was a slope that was needed and he said he would take that into account. The homeowner is a very DIY individual and has done a lot of good work on his home. He is going to core through his roof is sealed that up himself as he has done work on barns in the past and told us that it would be fine to just run the PVC up through and he would take it from there. This is because he has a metal roof. The third part of this is that the sump is in a finished area in the basement he will be lining it and throwing carpet over the top so we will need to seal up the sump with plexiglass instead of a dome lid so that he can finish over it. He is also left the discharge in the wall open to see if we needed to do anything with this. Homeowner said he would be available and present during the install, he's a super nice guy but wants to make sure that we're running it where we need to that way he can hide it and frame it out. He got the outcome he wanted.

Radon Mitigation Install for New Fellowship Parsonage in New Sharon, Iowa
This client was really nice and accommodating. He is straightforward and wanted only a simple system that would fit the budget. They tested and returned with levels of 7. Pretty worried for all people who stay indoors, he managed to decide and get a radon mitigation system. He did explain to us that despite the budget, it will be an investment. The team did offer payment plans and he said from our price point he can manage. It was simple installation from the closet going to the backside of the home. Everything went well and mentioned he would recommend to his good friends!

Radon Mitigation and Duct Cleaning for Home With 11 pCi/L Radon Levels
With radon levels averaging 11 pCi/L, this homeowner scheduled a full radon mitigation system installation along with duct cleaning to improve indoor air quality. Duct cleaning is set within the package along with radon mitigation. The plan includes two extraction points: one near the washer and dryer routed above the ceiling, and another along the exterior wall. The system will exit by coring through the foundation, with the fan installed under the deck and piping routed up the side of the home through a deck board. While UVC and Breathe Easy upgrades were considered, they may be added later.

Large Crawl Space Encapsulation and Multi-Point Radon Mitigation Project for Maximum Protection
This home required a major indoor air quality upgrade with two separate radon mitigation systems and full crawl space encapsulation. The first system is a two-point setup with an extraction point near the basement stairs connected into a clean crawl space area, exiting near the rear section of the home. The second system is a three-point radon mitigation design covering multiple basement chambers and crawl spaces, including a concrete crawl area and another section needing full encapsulation. Radon Fan housing covers were also requested to improve the exterior appearance while maintaining strong radon reduction performance. With multiple chambers, crawl spaces, and high-risk air leakage areas, this project is built for long-term radon protection and healthier indoor air quality.
