Tim is a contractor so he is aware that having a radon mitigation system at home is a need. This is his 2nd property and the team needed to get the Iowa Department of Labor Registration to sign the proposal. The home has a small basement and needed to avoid a bumped out window with fan and exhaust, the client's replacing it and has to remove/replace some siding. It also had a small 6x6 crawlspace and an opening in the basement floor to seal with Cleanspace. We got the approval before anything else and the job was perfect!
This home tested for radon as they wanted to start healthy living by the year 2024. The results returned with low levels but still the homeowner made the decision to protect their home and family members. They did share that it wasn't easy deciding on it, but they know it will be worth it in the future as this is already required in real estate policies. It was not a complicated process as the homeowners made the home ready for radon mitigation installation. They did their research, and they knew what's the most ideal system along with adding a Breathe EZ filter for extra protection.
This was a simple installation for a couple in Kingsley, IA. They were new to the whole radon situation, so they figured to give it a chance since it's for the betterment of their health. The installation started at one point in the utility room and a secondary point to pull under the crawlspace liner. The crawlspace situation was extremely untidy, so the team suggested encapsulation to which they agreed. They didn't even know Iowa Radon Defense can offer that service and they were happy that we did. The couple was happy with how it turned out!
Concerned by the potential health risks associated with radon exposure, this family proactively sought out Radon Defense Midwest to mitigate radon levels in their newly purchased home. They had an unfinished basement, and their radon levels tested at 14. It was high and pretty risky since they have kids. We recommended the good spots for them to start with the installation and everything came to order.
The homeowner was indeed nice and is working as a middle or high school teacher. It was hectic when the team showed up as his two sons needed to leave for practice. The wife was there briefly since they were trusting in what the team needed to do. The technicians had a challenge with their sump lid as it was stuck due to a mix of dirt and concrete. They had a work around to drill holes to perforate the pit liner walls. The system was installed in the garage.
