From Awareness to Action: Radon Mitigation for a Single-Family Home

When a close friend was diagnosed with lung cancer linked to radon exposure, this homeowner knew she needed to act. Always prepared and proactive, she scheduled a radon mitigation system installation for her single attached home, which included a crawl space and sump pit. The process was smooth and efficient, with the client even lending a hand to move items around. By addressing radon now, she’s protecting her health and ensuring long-term safety in her home.

Why do you need a radon mitigation system at home?

This home is an old ranch farm house with radon levels of 12 in basement and 6 upstairs above the crawlspace. It also has a two-chamber basement with a large dirt crawlspace, and an old garage that is being renovated as an extended living room area. The client was a referral from a friend who had an installation with us and they were really happy so they spread the word! The client also added a Breathe EZ for extra protection along with a crawlspace encapsulation. 

Customized Radon Solution for a Handy Homeowner with Specific Needs

For this two-point radon mitigation project, the system was carefully designed to respect both the home’s layout and the homeowner’s specific requests. With elevated radon levels and a finished basement, the system includes one extraction point beneath the stairs and a second near the basement’s exit wall—both routed discreetly and exiting near the home’s AC unit.

What made this install unique was the homeowner’s active involvement. As a skilled DIYer, he chose to core joist holes himself for cleaner pipe routing and even offered to repurpose an old dryer vent as an exit point. Our team supported his input while ensuring performance and compliance.

Building a New Home with a Radon Mitigation System

The client was in the process of building their dream home when their contractor mentioned the importance of radon mitigation in the area. Since radon was a known issue locally, they decided to include a mitigation system as part of the construction process. By installing the system during the build, they avoided future disruptions and ensured the home was safe from the start. The client was pleased to have taken a preventive measure that aligned with their commitment to creating a healthy environment.
