Job Stories

Jeff came to NRD Midwest with 18.5 pCi/L as his Radon level and wanted to mitigate for the health and safety of their home. Our team came in and installed a 2 extraction point radon system with interior aesthetic package and muffler with a breathe ez cleaner and uvc light. 

This is an interesting project as the layout of the home was a reno (renovation). There is a thin utility strip across the center of the basement. Half is finished and the rest is crawlspace. If you go on the left side of the utility strip, the sump pit needs to be crawled to in order to seal it up. Not a super comfortable thing to have to do but is about 8-10 feet crawl. From the outside of the home, the exit hole will need to be on the shorted park of the home toward the porch. Mainly wanted protection from exposure why they're getting a radon mitigation system. Inside this relates to needing to exit somewhere in the crawl space, some concerns still needed a fix. We offered the homeowner a crawlspace encapsulation and will have this considered in the future!

Andrew and John did a great job installing this exterior radon mitigation system for our customer. They work from home now in their basement and levels were high so they wanted to make sure they were as safe as possible.

George and Loretta want a healthy home while they're living there, and for any future owners of their house. They were considering many different investments in their home: tree care, new concrete, and a Radon mitigation system. It was important to them to keep value in their home for when it comes time to sell. After speaking with NRD Midwest Indoor Air Quality Specialists, they were convinced the Radon mitigation system was the first investment they wanted to tackle together! The NRD Midwest team installed a 1 extraction point system with interior aesthetics and a muffler, a sump cover, a domed cover, and in their HVAC system installed a Breathe Easy Air Cleaner and UVC light to purify their air. George and Loretta said "it went great!" and were very pleased afterward. 

This client had their home tested for radon and the results weren't really good. Worried about their family's health, they proceeded to inquire with Radon Defense Midwest with the ideal radon mitigation system designed for the home's structure. They liked it but requested a few remediations to keep the home's aesthetic. The installation was easy since there were extraction points found for the system. Everything went well!

I had read about the long term effects of radon in my home. After testing and having high levels I decided to call National Radon Defense Midwest for help. From the first phone call, to the follow up after my project was completed, I was highly impressed. Andrew and his crew were efficent and honest. They were very friendly and easy to get along with. They cleaned up well and explained the entire process from start to finish. I was happy with the appearance of the system, and also relieved to know it worked and got my levels down.

When Gloree's daughter heard her cough, she knew something was going on. As a nurse, Gloree's daughter immediately recommended that her mother have her home tested and then, her lungs.  The tests revealed an unusually high radon level in Gloree's home and COPD in the Sioux City homeowner's lungs. According to the Mayo Clinic, COPD, or Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease, is caused by long-term exposure to irritating gases, such as radon, and airborne particles. Developing COPD can increase one's chance of developing heart disease, lung cancer, and other related conditions. Radon mitigation can't undo the damage of previous exposure, but it can decrease current exposure and consequently decrease homeowner's chances of developing lung complications like COPD. We installed a radon mitigation system in Gloree's home and a Breathe EZ air filter, which filters out other harmful gases and airborne particles—such as viruses and bacteria, so Gloree can, well, breathe easier.
