Job Stories

Jerry, an elderly homeowner, recently had his home tested for radon levels. Although the results showed lower than average levels, Jerry still had concerns about the potential health risks for himself and his family. After discussing the matter with his family, they decided to take preventative measures and invest in a radon mitigation system. They contacted Radon Defense Midwest and received a free estimate for the installation of a customized radon mitigation system. The team at Radon Defense Midwest worked closely with Jerry and his family to ensure that the system was installed effectively and efficiently. Now, Jerry and his family have peace of mind knowing that their home is safe from the dangers of radon gas, and they are confident that they have made a wise investment in their health and safety.

This was an easy install as the homeowner was working in the construction industry before, so he did the most work in drafting how the radon mitigation system installed in his home. The team committed to his request and started from his daughter's bedroom closet running through the floor joists above the drop ceiling. From the crawlspace it would go through the master bedroom and straight shot into his garage. Regardless of the garage not having a ceiling, the crawlspace was very workable. The homeowner insisted on removing the debris and having the ceiling tiles adjusted from the master bedroom to expedite the job. His levels returned 7 pCi/L so there was sense of urgency. Homeowner was really happy with how it turned out!

A Client's Radon Dilemma Meeting Judy and her boyfriend Ron was lively. Despite being elderly, they were full of questions and stories, curious about every detail of the radon mitigation plan. Their basement, with levels of 17, felt damp and musty, while readings upstairs ranged from 5 to 7. Health concerns loomed large. The basement, half finished, had a small sump pit, and the sump pump shared space with a toilet and floor drain. Plans included adding plexiglass and two extraction points: one in the corner and another near the drain. To minimize noise, the vent would exit near the bathroom, away from Judy’s bedroom. With Judy’s severe allergies, the team also offered options of filtration with Breathe EZ regardiless of their numerous air purification units. They were happy about that option and had it installed.

Joyce Davia contacted NRD Midwest concerned about a pipe that was leaking possibly from the roof boot of her radon mitigation system. When the NRD Midwest technitians checked it out, they discovered that the roof boot was not the cause of the leak, but instead it seemed to be from the fittings. The technitians rebuilt the piping from the moisture guard on up, and reinforced the fittings, making sure to tighten the fernco couplers extra tight. They even poured water in the discharge to test it: No leaks! Joyce shared afterward, "They did a fine job, and cleaned up well after the work was finished. Both men seemed knowledgeable and were very receptive to what I wanted to relay about the situation."
