This homeowner needed a customized two-point radon mitigation system designed around the layout of the home and future plans for the space. One extraction point will be installed on the finished side of the home near the floor, passing through the wall to connect with a second extraction point on the opposite side. The system routing will be concealed within the joists to keep the installation as unobtrusive as possible, especially since the homeowner may finish the room in the future. The project will also include a radon fan cover at the homeowner’s request. This tailored approach helps address radon entry while keeping future room improvements in mind.
After the recent passing of Diedra’s father from lung cancer, indoor air quality has become a top priority for the family. He built the home eight years ago, and they have spent time there on and off since it was completed. For the past six months, they have been living in the home full-time. As part of making the home their own, they are moving forward with radon mitigation and other home improvement projects to protect their family’s health. Reducing radon levels and improving indoor air quality is a key step in creating a safer living environment and lowering long-term lung cancer risk.
This home required a 4-point radon mitigation system due to its uniquely divided basement with multiple chambers. Spotty cell service made on-site communication difficult, and photo uploads failed—but the project sketch still came through, offering a basic layout.
Despite the challenges, the plan remained clear: install four extraction points strategically throughout the space and determine the cleanest routing path on site. Flexibility was key—our techs were ready to use their expertise or jump on a quick FaceTime call to finalize routing in real-time.
When communication is limited, experience and adaptability make all the difference. This install proves our team can handle the unexpected—and still deliver guaranteed results.
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.
