Radon Gas Remediation for Big Home in Friend, Nebraska 15 years ago the homeowners used plastic to line the crawl space to prevent soil gas intrusion. Found out that the covering is in major disrepair and will need to be removed. Educated homeowners about this and they agreed. The team will encapsulate the 2 areas on the east side of the home along with the crawlspace. It will be a 4-point system as the home is quite large. Three points in the crawl spaces where existing system is run. Plus one point under or next to the stairs. The area under the stairs is tight and will need to be encapsulated. The radon fan was replaced with a better one and the clients requested to keep the old. Everything went well and homeowners are happy!

This job was no match for Lance. He did a great job installing this exterior mitigation system as well as encapsulating our clients crawl space to lower their radon levels in the home. This will give them piece of mind while being in the home.

Larry and Janet Zulkoski reached out to NRD Midwest with concerns about high Radon levels in their home. Because they lived in Columbus and wanted the mitigation system installed as soon as possible, we met with them virtually with a video call and performed the inspection and provided them with a system and free estimate using FaceTime. Our technicians installed a one extraction point system with interior aesthetics, a muffler, domed sump cover with sump and discharge, and a UVC light. Afterward, Larry shared, "We were very pleased with the two gentlemen that worked on our radon system. They were pleasant and answered our questions. Cleaned up well afterward. We would definitely recommend them. Gave them a 10!"

Jim and his wife had been working on reducing the radon gas in their home for about a year, yet even after having a depressurization mitigation system installed, the home maintained a high level of radon. They reached out to National Radon Defense Midwest's air quality specialists for help, and our team put our knowledge, training, and experience together to solve their high radon level issue. After we reduced their levels to below the EPA 4.0 pCi/L we all were so happy and grateful. Jim shared with us, "I would highly recommend you and your services to anyone looking for radon mitigation. The guys are friendly, clean and most importantly trustworthy. Thank you for finding a way to reduce these levels to a safe range. Ten out of ten for us!"

This was a two point system with a basement that is mostly unfinished due to some finishings from the home office and bathroom. It was a smooth installation as homeowner is advised how everything would go from start to finish. 

Brad wanted to lower the Radon levels in his home for health reasons. After speaking with the Indoor Air Quality Specialist who helped to design the system Brad was looking for, Lance and Cole installed a 2 extraction point radon system with a domed sump cover. Afterward Brad remarked, "The team was very professional, friendly, and knowledgeable. They did a great job!"

New Home with High Radon Levels Found in Saint Helena, Nebraska The customer had recently purchased this modern home and was excited about the renovation process. As part of their pre-renovation plans, they decided to have a radon test conducted. To their surprise, the results indicated a significant radon problem. Prioritizing the health and safety of their family, they opted for a radon mitigation system. Since then, they've expressed gratitude for the system's effectiveness in creating a healthier living environment.

Andrew and Jordan did a great job installing this exterior mitigation system. The homeowner was educated on the effects of radon and wanted the lowest levels possible. We were happy to help them!

Marla was passionate about her quilt-making business and spent most of her days in the basement of her home where she had set up her workspace. One day, she stumbled upon Radon Defense's website and learned about the risks of radon gas. She realized that she and her employees had been breathing in radon gas for years and decided that she needed to take action. She contacted Radon Defense Midwest and they sent a team to test her home for radon gas. The results showed that the radon levels were high in the basement where she spent most of her time. The team recommended an active passive radon mitigation system to ensure her safety and protection. She was relieved to hear that the installation process would not take too long and the team was very professional and efficient. Within a few days, the system was installed, and Marla could breathe easier knowing that she and her employees were now protected from the harmful effects of radon gas.

This 4-chamber home was radon tested and came out to be with 8.7 pCi/L on levels -- which is really high. It was an average duplex home and the area used to have brick floor but the homeowners decided to remove it and replaced it with gravel, plastic and concrete. It had an accessible crawlspace to work on and sump pit. We routed the installation plan into the crawlspace for second point and put the radon fan on the south side of home next to the downspout. The homeowner is very detail-oriented so we were really careful explaining every little bit of detail he needs to know. Same goes, they were satisfied how the radon mitigation system installation turned out! We hope you like farm fresh eggs because they were so generous in giving the team some, yummy!
