Radon testing brought this family closer together. They worked as a team in making the decision to install a radon mitigation system, united in their commitment to ensuring a safe and healthy home for the whole family. The whole family is excited about the benefits it would bring!
This is a single point system which will be going in the utility room. This room is by itself and some pit is directly in the corner of the wall that he will be exiting. This will run along the side of the house and only go about halfway up due to the height of the home. Radon level in the home was a 3.8 to 4 and it was looking to do this because they have a newborn on the way and concerned about overall health of him and the family. I did talk to him about a BEZ filter although he told me he needed to do a little bit more research on this. Everything went well!
This client is a nice woman in her 60s with a southern accent. She has some difficulty hearing so she needed some assistance with how this installation would go through. The basement is about half finished with a wood shop and a storage room. The team installed in the two sump pits with interior drain tile along with a custom Breathe EZ 25x30x1. Levels of 10 found and concerned with health risk since she is elderly. The client also spends more time in the basement because she has a sewing room there. The installation was smooth!
This project was a hard one as we were bidding against four different people. Our lead tech Rusty, ended up selling this as well as a Breathe EZ due to bedrooms and kids being in the basement. I think it was the deciding factor from a health standpoint. The one thing that I am concerned about is the quotes that he received from other competitors. Rusty did let Eric know that we can match other companies prices if he were to give us the other quotes for our price assurance guarantee. The other issue on this house is the exit point for an exterior system would initially come out under the deck so that would mean the team would have to make a quick 90° out to the right hand side more towards the center of the home. The third complication on this home is that he is too sump pumps. One is sealed up in a wooden box and looks to be very tight so I did not mess with it. The second one is in the utility room which will need to be sealed up like normal. Rusty did let the homeowner know that we can start with a single point to see how well write all levels will drop even though he has elevated levels with a strong recommendation to put into points. Price was a pretty big factor in all this but still glad he ended us choosing us for quality.
This was a simple family who really taught about getting their own radon mitigation system due to some budget cuts. They were really happy when we advised them that financing was an option. They took a 12-month plan and went all out as they also got a BEZ filter for better protection.
