This lovely couple were happy making the decision to protect their home from radon exposure. They learned from their friends that they started radon testing regularly and done the same. They found out they had really high levels in their home so they needed to do something about it. The had a free estimate from Radon Defense Midwest, loved the price and had their own system installed.
It was a simple project; the client wanted a system to guard them from exposure. The team drafted for the installation is to start with sealing the sump lid and around the plumbing stack in the storage room. The customer was so trusting to the point he left the garage door for us to start the job. We made sure everything was secured before we left. Customer was happy.
This customer has an idea about radon and is willing to be protected from exposure. He offered a sump lid the team can use throughout the installation and will just need to fasten it to the caulk. The whole basement floor was on builder epoxy since they didn't put down aggregate or a vapor barrier like they were supposed to. The homeowner's wife is going through chemo so that's the main reason for this whole installation.
It was a simple single point system installation. The extraction point created was in the east bedroom closet out thru wall (low) with fan on outside behind the bushes. The team sealed the pit with a plexi-lid and spray foam the geothermal entrance/exit in mechanical room near furnace.
This very concerned wife decided to get a radon mitigation system since her husband has cancer, but not lung cancer -- still, they wanted to get this underlying concern fixed to prevent any damages it can cause in the future. They requested their test kit and it came back with high levels. We advised them about the installation and tried our best to make it smooth while the husband is resting. We added BEZ to the mix for better filtering and ventilation.
