Job Stories

Homeowners often find out about radon for the first time when their home is inspected as part of a sale or check-in from a housing authority group. For Sebrina and Arjan, it was a tribal council that tested their home and recommended radon mitigation. The Winnebago homeowners found relatively love levels, ranging from 4.1 pCi/L to 5p Ci/L, but wanted to lower them as much as possible. They were concerned about their children, whose bedrooms are in the basement.  We installed a simple, quiet, and aesthetic mitigation system to ease the Winnebago couple's radon level and their worry without waking their children or disrupting their home.

The client has an unfinished basement and would consider transforming it to his own personal office or utility room. He had a radon test before but was a little hesitant and tried to get another one. Turned out with same results. He wanted to mitigate as soon as possible as he is about to finish the construction for his basement. Luckily, the team had a sump and interior drain tile to work with. Customer did offer to handle the sealing of wall joints and anything around the plumbing since it's within the construction plan. Everything went well! 

It took a little extra push for Steve to get a radon mitigation system installed in his Rock Rapids, Iowa home. That push was his daughter refusing to visit.  Our team helped Steve understand how dangerous radon can be and how important a well-designed, laboratory-proven and warranty-backed radon mitigation system is. We installed a sump pit and extraction system that fit Steve's specifications and didn't disrupt his home. Now Steve and his daughter can rest assured that they're breathing safe air.

This client had her home tested for radon and returned high levels. She was worried as her home was just renovated and didn't want it to be polluted with the gas in the future and also for her health. She immediately contacted Radon Defense Midwest for a FREE estimate and booked right away! 

The clients were an elderly couple who had some health concerns. This is a simple radon mitigation system activation as well as a Breathe EZ filter. There is an existing sump in the corner of the basement that runs about 10 ft back and up through the ceiling. Access to the crawl space is in the garage -- where the point would begin. The passive system sits over the client's utility closet. The installation went well. The clients were very accommodating too! They even cooked for the team!

Brett noticed the fan in his radon mitigation system wasn't working, so he reached out for help. The NRD Midwest guys found the older fan not functioning, so they replaced with new legend fan and all worked fine. Afterward, Brett shared, "They did a great job! Very pleased with their work. 10."

It was not much of a complicated house but it definitely had a dirty crawlspace to begin with. The owner made the decision to get the radon mitigation installed first and everything will follow once done. He had a really large basement with enough room for the installation to be done. There was already an intended place for the radon mitigation system and it will be coming out to the back of the house. Everything went well. 

Susie and her husband thought they were ready to welcome Susie's 94-year-old mother into their Lincoln home until they saw their radon level. Seeing that, the homeowners knew they wouldn't be ready until they were sure the house was safe. We installed a mitigation system and spoke with the Lincoln homeowners about Breathe EZ and other ways to ensure safe and clean indoor air quality so Susie and her mother can breathe safely.

Nadine's levels tested in at 66 pCi/L in Feb and 58 pCi/L in March. She was very concerned with the extreme levels and understood what needed to happen to get those levels down below 4.0 pCi/L. Our team installed a system with three extraction points and afterward she shared with us, "Lance was very knowledgeable and helpful! They did a great job cleaning up, and I've already referred you to my son!"

The client spends most of his time in his basement and since it's winter, he is worried that his radon levels might be triggering. This home was a very simple job as we did not have challenges upon installation.
