This was simple installation with a 2 point system and slab on grade. The first point was at the back basement wall past the HVAC system then the second point will have to run behind the HVAC wall to get over to the slab past the chimney vent. Everything went well with the installation.
Radon testing was the first thing the homeowner has done and he was not happy with the results. It was really high. They planned ahead and called Radon Defense Midwest for a free estimate. The installation was planned as point in sump and second point by stack between water softener and laundry. The team spray foamed the exposed dirt under shower, it is accessible from utility room by sump. A fan cover was included. It was a two-story home and on a slope the team recommended setting up ladder on side of house. Everything went as planned.
Jeremy is a chiropractor and his wife is a nurse practitioner that works for a cancer center. They bought the house 11 years ago and he thought they did a radon test at the time but was mistaken. Recently tested for radon and learned levels were 26 so was concerned as it's really high and has avoided having his 4 kids spend as much time downstairs. Most of basement is finished but that's where the kids spend most of their time. They specifically requested to have it at the foundation from end of the home. It worked out as how they wanted it to be.
The cost of a radon mitigation system and building materials were initially inquired by this client. The team was able to discuss all components that make up the installation and how it works. They were bothered on how the system would impact their home long term but they were confident that it should protect them. Everything went well.
This nice client was really accommodating through the team's arrival until the end of the installation. She was really sharing her story about her friend who got crazy health symptoms knowing she had high levels of radon in her home so she wanted to prevent that from happening in the future and made the decision to get her own.
