Job Stories

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. 

Richard was a nice guy and bought the house about a year ago for his wife and kids. Another investment really. The house had an unusual odor coming from the walls. The team tested and returned with the levels of 9 and it was two chambers in a ranch house with an odd layout. It does not have a sump pit. The team planned a sub slab extraction point on both sides of block wall dividing house instead, core low to connect, route up in room where their guest was staying, take out back of house and core through wall. Richard agreed and he loved how it turned out!

The customer recognized the importance of implementing robust radon protection measures from the very beginning. Driven by a desire for a healthy living environment, they were determined to ensure both passive and active safeguards against radon.   With a clear vision in mind, the customer enlisted our expertise to design and install a comprehensive radon mitigation system. Collaboratively, we crafted a plan that incorporated passive protection through building techniques such as vapor barriers and sealing potential entry points. Additionally, an active radon mitigation system was integrated, consisting of a fan-driven ventilation system to actively expel radon from the home.   As the construction progressed, our team worked diligently to implement the planned radon protection measures. The installation process was a resounding success, with careful attention paid to every detail. The customer's unwavering commitment to their family's health was reflected in the seamless execution of the radon mitigation system.   With passive and active protection firmly in place, the customer's newly built home stood as a fortress against radon, assuring a healthy indoor environment for their loved ones. Their proactive approach during the construction phase was a testament to their dedication to long-term well-being.   As the home neared completion, the customer expressed immense satisfaction and gratitude for the successful installation of the radon mitigation system. They could confidently look forward to moving into a home where their family's health and safety were prioritized from the very foundation.

This client did make sure his home was tested for radon. It's a newly renovated home and it's nice in person. He requested the best and ideal that would fit in his home's structure. We were able to draft one for him and really liked it! Installation went well.

The customer's basement renovation project included radon mitigation installation, enhancing the home's overall value and safety. He made this decision because he found out from a home inspector friend that a radon mitigation system increases the value of a home over time. It's starting to become part of safety and wellness in the government's agenda. We definitely agree with this client's perspective!

This was a small house with an interior foundation wall that's a clay tile. The team did not upcharge for the coring to give consideration for the customer. They made 3 extraction points and had a radon test before proceeding. The level returned to 20, which was a high number. The homeowner was pretty worried it would go up if left unmitigated. Hence, booking Radon Defense Midwest to solve all their radon exposure worries. 

This client was referred by their neighbor who was our regular. Anything related to home maintenance they really tried to get in touch with us. It was a little challenge for the team as due to the multiple renovations in the home, they can't access slab on grade or any crawlspace to work with. The team explained to the owner that they would have to clear out the one accessible crawlspace to start the installation and for any future projects that would link to it. The owner agreed and installation was smooth as a baby. Homeowner was really happy how it turned out!

Should I Buy a Home with a Radon Mitigation System? The customer was preparing to sell their house and wanted to avoid any surprises during the inspection process.

To ensure the home was market-ready, they hired a radon mitigation service to install a system. With the radon levels under control, they successfully marketed the home as a safe and healthy environment, which helped reassure potential buyers and expedite the sale.
