The owner is familiar with encapsulation from his insurance background, easily understood our mitigation proposal. Having used our services before, he spoke highly of us. The reason for his current call was a potential radon issue due to a past home addition. The homeowner was very cooperative and led me to the crawl space upon arriving. The team will implement a two-point system, one connecting to the crawl space and exiting through the back corner of the house. Considering aesthetics, the homeowner prefers the extraction to run inside the fence, along the gutter. He was happy as his demands were granted.
This mitigation project was for a farmhouse that was immediately confirmed with a deposited cheque. During discussions with the homeowners, Mike and his wife, various options were explored for the old farmhouse with three chambers. They decided on placing the extraction point on the east side, near the white barn, and expressed interest in duct cleaning after the system is installed. Considering the furnace location's half wall, potential extraction point adjustments were discussed. The homeowners changed their preferences, and flexibility was assured, with the installation crew ready to provide advice during the process.
It was a bachelor's home and since the client uses it as his office too, he was wondering if the indoor air quality is safe to breathe in on a regular basis. He had his home tested for radon and turned out he had high levels. He booked in for an installation and wanted to make sure that it does not disrupt the aesthetic look of his home. We guaranteed him that.
This client's decision to encapsulate the crawlspace has become a shield for their family's health. By keeping moisture and pests away, it has improved the air they breathe and the foundation of their basement. This move resonates with their dedication to a safer living space. With the crawlspace encapsulation, they've not only enhanced their home's longevity but also demonstrated a profound commitment to their family's well-being.
An Ecoblue monitoring device was retrieved from a nearly new home with radon levels at 13. A passive system was present, inconspicuously marked near the sump. The homeowner expressed interest in duct cleaning, understanding the importance of quality service. Due to the radon level, a second extraction point was recommended, strategically placed in the unfinished utility area for potential basement finishing. The homeowners plan to reach out for further services as they consider mitigating potential dirty air from nearby construction.
