Red Brick Ranch Radon Fix: Custom System for Stubborn Levels in a Geothermal Home

After putting off mitigation for some time, this homeowner in a brick walk-out ranch was ready to take action. With radon levels at 14 pCi/L, it was clear that a more effective and permanent solution was needed. There was no sump pit, only exterior drain tile and pea gravel beneath the slab, plus a hidden passive pipe that proved unreliable. To deliver reliable radon abatement, we designed a 2-point sub-slab extraction system along the north wall, spaced 15 feet apart (disregarding the outdated job drawing). The system will exit through the block wall and brick, with a fan and muffler installed on the side of the home, carefully routed around the soffit for a clean finish.

They currently operate an ERV system with geothermal HVAC, which we encouraged them to run more consistently. A custom Breathe EZ (29x25) unit with L brackets is part of the plan, replacing the awkward filter stack they currently use (16x25x2 + 14x25x2). Sealed 25 feet of visible slab cracks near the HVAC system and finish with duct cleaning and standard fogging; creating cleaner air and real radon reduction.

Cole did a great job with this exterior install. The customer was happy with the outcome of the work!

Andrew and John helped our customers with their high radon levels by installing this interior radon mitigation system.

New Home Radon Mitigation: Creating a Safe Space for Family and Future Generations

After moving into their newly built home about a year ago, a couple discovered high radon levels during routine testing—readings hovered around 13 pCi/L. With plans to finish the lower level soon and grandkids frequently visiting, they knew mitigation was a priority. A custom radon system was installed to address the elevated levels before any additional construction began. By taking action early, they not only protected the health of their family but also set a strong foundation for a safe and comfortable future living space. With the peace of mind that their home’s air quality is now under control, they can move forward with finishing their lower level—and enjoy visits from their grandchildren without worry.

Crew did a great job and very happy with the outcome
