Effective Radon Mitigation in Humboldt, Iowa

These clients just learned of their radon elevated levels of 11.8 in basement with two chambers, plus a concrete crawlspace that's 27'x40'. It's an old home with a narrow sump pit. The plan was to block the wall dividing basement and sub slab on either side of wall, core through block low, then go up and route between floor joists to enter crawlspace and have third extraction point. Exit crawlspace on far right back corner below office. Exit through rim joist and place fan on back side of house with fan cover. They added a Breathe EZ filter for extra protection.

Ranch Home Protected with Radon Mitigation System

The lovely couple - Pete and Holly are very nice and both teachers. They had a ranch-style house with a finished basement. The installation plan was a sump pit with drain tile. They did mention they only wanted a simple system with not much work. The team provided the best options. The sump pit is next to lift station and along garage wall. The route will be moving up, entering the garage through rim joist, then into attic. They also added a 16x25 BEZ for radon filtration. Happy with how it turned out!

How to Live with Radon? 

This client lives in very old farm house with an unfinished basement used for storage and it was full of cobwebs. We did advise her that it's not healthy keeping it that way. She requested a radon test before starting anything returned with a level of 6.2 in her basement and shocked as she has never tested before. She was feeling nauseous the past few weeks so it bothered her that it might be the high radon levels. She got a free estimate and the team saw that the home had an inaccessible crawlspace on one side, the other side has a garage that is now a finished living space. She had a small porch with conditioned air is slab on grade on front of house. The slab appears to be in good condition and no major cracks. The installation will be a sub slab extraction point on back corner of basement, second point horizontally to pull from old garage, exit house via rim joist, install muffler and route up. She was happy with this decision and will contact us back for duct cleaning!
