Iowa Radon Defense Before & After Photos

This was originally designed as a 1 point system before the radon test results came back. The results shown levels of 20-21 from a post short term test. The customer called and asked what they should do so we added an additional extraction point to their project. It’ll be in the same room and still same system designed but Rusty, our Lead Technician will need to make a judgement call on where to put the second point in - reason why we recommend radon professionals for this. The client's husband was just diagnosed with lung cancer so they’re especially sensitive to this and every detail.

This couple were genuinely nice. The husband used to farm and then worked in IT. They have an acreage and had been concerned with radon for a long time as they believe his mom died from radon lung cancer. He installed a mitigation system himself back in the late 80s at this house, but he is not that confident if it was effective. The fan is in the basement ceiling and vents right outside the basement door about 7' above the concrete. He said the fans still run. It draws from the sump pit which also has plumbing and line and something else that lead to it. Sealed up and not accessible. The team had some discussions with the husband about options to utilize for a new extraction point if that's possible instead of near footing in that room. Two chambers, there's a large addition that is finished upstairs with a workshop below with a garage door. The installation turned out fine and he was happy that he spoke to a radon professional!

High Radon Levels in Pella, Iowa

This is an interesting layout as homeowner has elevated radon levels so needed two points in their utility room. The closet is where homeowner would like us to talk the interior system in. Piping will most likely go through the right-hand side of the closet - she agreed with that. Looked the access in the garage and there is room for us to come up through the ceiling but there is plywood on the left-hand side when looking up in the attic. We are going to need to core through that plywood through the small Eve section of the house to vent it up and around the roof line. Everything was done perfectly and set of expectations were met with the homeowner.

Radon Mitigation in Kellogg, Iowa

We had a detail-oriented customer with an inaccessible crawlspace. Our technician visited the house twice and handled multiple calls and emails to figure out the scope of work. He tested for radon and found out their levels were high. We found a perfect spot in the attic near the sump pit. It was a large room, ideal spot for the radon mitigation system. The client was thrilled with the final result!

Radon Remediation in Newton, Iowa

This is a very straightforward on point system that will be going out of the sump in the bedroom downstairs. It will be running from the something out through the corner of the home along the gutter line. There is an existing discharge that has a small rectangular cut out in the ceiling right where our line will be in the homeowner said that if we needed to make the hole a little larger than she does not have a problem with that in order for us to work properly. She said that they were looking to be moving out of the house within a year or two anyway, she needed the radon mitigation for home value appraisal and made sure she was safe either way.
