Before & After Photos

This was a challenging client as we had numerous revisions on the installation draft until we had gone to the final piece. The client was really concerned about his home and security at the same time. Hesitant to let a worker in at first and gave in eventually. He decided to have the radon mitigation system installed in a confined space at the back of his home near the swimming pool. We educated him in everything that he needs to know from the coring through the piping on how it will flow through -- very technical person. He helped in moving some furniture in the process and wanted to make sure each piece is in place after. Everything was fine, he just really needed assurance from time to time. 

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.
