A health scare prompted this family to test their home for radon. They decided on a mitigation system with Radon Defense Midwest, and now, they breathe easier, knowing they've protected their loved ones.
The installation of this was drafted between the furnace and crawlspace opening. The client was pretty worried how the damage would end up through his roofing but we guaranteed that the system is going to be tailor fitting his home structure. It was a straightforward installation.
Met with Scott, a retired UP executive, and his wife, a retired nurse, at their large ranch-style home. The house boasts geothermal heating, ICF construction, and spray foam insulation inside the attic roof for energy efficiency. They already have an ERV connected to their HVAC system but need a custom Breathe EZ and L brackets for a larger filter. With no sump pump, they have a passive system with a capped pipe near the sump pit. They also require crack sealing, a UVC light installation, duct cleaning with deluxe fogging, and dryer vent cleaning. Radon levels were 5.5 short term and 2.7 long term, seeking peace of mind with a system while enjoying retirement.
The team met with April and her husband Jon. They bought this acreage 2 years ago and didn't test till recently and levels are 7. She was a nurse and freaked out by radon. They're both self employed and have a bunch of kids that were not present. Chiefs fans and went to game this past weekend. Both were nice and friendly. Jon is more no nonsense and was just interested in the depressurization system and said he was familiar with it already. After installation, you can see the relief from April's face.
This home was up for sale by a real estate agent and upon her observation of the home, she find out there was no radon mitigation system installed. We were recommended to her by her colleague and she was excited for us to work on the installation and it's her first time to see how a radon mitigation system is assembled in a home. Darren - the Team Leader for this project drafted the most appropriate setup on where the system should be placed ideally. The agent agreed and went on with the payment in a jiffy. Everything turned out fine!
