Before & After Photos

Radon is the decay of the element radium, and is a colorless, odorless, tasteless, and radioactive. This gas is the second leading cause of lung cancer. Radon is found everywhere, and when it seeps into our homes, it continues to accumulate. One case in a home in Woodhull, IL, Radon levels were between 19 and 29 pCi/L. A mitigation system was installed into the concrete basement slab to draw the gas out from under the home. The specialists at MidAmerica Basement Systems have now helped provide the home with a safer breathing environment.

Jennifer of Osco, IL called MidAmerica Basement Systems because she noticed water coming in through the floor and wall joints of her home, and she was also concerned because the radon levles in her home were more than 3x the recommended limit. She met with design specialist Clayton Spinler, who proposed a solution for her home. Foreman Bill Wilcox and his team installed the solution of CleanSpace, WaterGuard, a TripleSafe Sump Pump, and a radon mitigation system. Now, Jennifer's home is safe from radon and her basement is dry!

Trent had high levels of radon in his home and thought that finishing his basement would make the air quality safer. After testing his home once the basement remodel was done, levels were still reaching around 40 pCi/L. Cole, design specialist from MidAmerica Basement Systems, offered him a solution with a radon mitigation system. Crewmen installed the system in less than a day, improving the air quality right away. Trent and his family now have a home with safer air to breathe.

Homeowners Kyle and Jevanie have lived in their home many years. Recently they have been concerned with radon and the potential levels of radon in their home. After completing a radon test they knew it was a good idea to look into having a radon mitigation system installed in their home. Radon is the second leading cause of cancer in the United States.

Amelia has been at her home for 13 years and recently had her home tested for radon. The home tested positive. Amelia had work done by us in the past and was pleased with the job we did, so she called us again to help keep her home safe from radon.
