This client just wanted an active passive system for her home regardless after testing she had low levels of radon in her home. She wanted to make sure her health and pets are safe from exposure in the future. She believes that radon is unpredictable, you will never know until the level rises and it might be too late.
Radon is a radioactive gas that has no smell, colour or taste. Radon is produced from the natural radioactive decay of uranium, which is found in all rocks and soils. Radon can also be found in water. Radon escapes from the ground into the air, where it decays and produces further radioactive particles. Those particles can be exposed to humans and cause lung cancer in the long run. A radon mitigation is needed to have this prevented.
This client's family members were determined to create a safe home for their family after discovering high radon levels in their home, it was around 25 pCi/L. They set clear goals: reduce radon exposure, ensure a healthy environment, and increase property value before the year ends or winter officially starts. Radon Defense Midwest team guided them through the process, explaining each step. With a professional installation completed, the family gave happy feedback as they received confirmation of reduced levels after a few days. Their commitment paid off, transforming their home into a sanctuary, free from the dangers of radon exposure, and restoring their peace of mind.
The system had been a disaster from the start as per the client. A competitor company installed it, but it never worked, and after several failed attempts by other contractors, client was left in the lurch—no one could fix the problem, and she wasn’t even sure if she’d paid them. Now, she was stuck with a potential rip-out job and the possibility of needing to patch things up herself. She called Radon Defense Midwest as a back-up plan and she liked the price so she tried to salvage what was from the original radon mitigation she had. The team discussed the plan to the client and she agreed, she did say that her experience with the RDM was entirely better than the others.
This client's family struggled with stale air and allergy flare-ups for quite sometime. After researching about indoor air pollutants, they decided to install an ERV.
