Job Stories

Met with the homeowner who manages a local bank and grew up in the area (Malvern, IA). He and his wife are expecting their first child and want to make the home safer. They had their home tested for radon and returned with levels of 10. Pretty worried, the team drafted their radon mitigation system. It starts with the sump pit with interior drain tile that is boxed in with wood. The husband will remove the wood box prior to installation. Route up and through drywall, core through block wall to exit home. Everything paid off after the installation. They were happy with how it turned out.

Radon Mitigation Saves the Day This client was undecided if they'll still get a radon mitigation system since they were planning to sell the home and move to another state. They did ask for a free quote last year and called us back this year for another. They were unsure if the money is worth the hassle. One time, a home inspector visited and advised them to get one otherwise their home would not be suitable for the modern market, state laws, and for health concerns of the potential new owner. Lo and behold, they asked competitors and they came back to us as they were happy with the 10-year warranty the system came along with!

It was a beautiful day in the middle of summer, and the Radon Defense Midwest team was out on a job.

She welcomed the team with open arms and a warm smile, eager to get started on the project. As they began working, she chatted away, sharing her life stories with the team.

She was very interested in the process and asked a lot of questions. The team was happy to explain everything to her and make sure she was fully informed about the work they were doing.   At lunchtime, the homeowner surprised the team with a delicious spread of sandwiches and snacks. It was a nice gesture, and the team appreciated the thoughtful gesture. The homeowner even sat down with them to chat while they ate, sharing more stories about her life. As they continued the installation, the team noticed that the homeowner's home was spotless. It was clear that she took pride in keeping her home neat and tidy. She explained that she wanted a radon mitigation system for her home because her brother had installed one and it had helped his breathing. She wanted to prioritize her health and make sure her home was safe.   Despite having an existing radon mitigation system, the homeowner was not happy with its design and structure. She had heard about Radon Defense Midwest and reached out to them for help. The team worked efficiently and effectively, making sure to address all of her concerns and ensure that the new system met all the necessary safety standards.   In the end, the homeowner was thrilled with the new radon mitigation system.

The team was happy to have been able to help and grateful for the opportunity to meet such a kind and generous homeowner.

I contacted National Radon Defense Midwest in April to test my home for Radon. Our levels came back at 4.4. After listening to Tony present and design the system the same day I received my test results back, we decided to take a chance on National Radon Defense Midwest. Office staff, sales, and installers were all very professional and friendly. Was able to get our system installed and rather quickly too. Just recieved my radon results today for my post test and I am so happy to hear they are at 1.4. Thank you again National Radon Defense Midwest for helping make my home healthy!

Evelyn first suspected something wasn't right with the air in her house when she realized how often she felt sick while at home. Concerned about her health, the Sidney homeowner contacted us about getting her home tested for radon. Sure enough, the radon level was high. We installed a two-suction point system with exterior aesthetics to reduce Evelyn's radon level without reducing the value of her home. To help ensure that the homeowner stays healthy, we also installed a Breathe EZ air cleaner for better all-around indoor air quality and made sure Evelyn felt comfortable changing her Breathe EZ filter. It's all too easy to forget about your air quality until you feel the negative impacts. Stories like Evelyn's remind us all that the air in our homes directly affects our health. Taking steps toward cleaner air like installing radon mitigation and indoor air quality controls help keep everyone in the house safe and healthy.

This was newly built commercial location intended for a school with a single classroom - mainly focused on kids.

Ryan and his family moved in a few months ago at this modern home and learned that radon levels were high at 18 so they have health concerns. Ryan works from home and in the IT industry. His main concern was for his family's protection and no further symptoms due to exposure. The installation began with the crawlspace under the sun room and added a Breathe EZ ERV along. He was happy with the outcome.

Dave and Phyllis noticed radon systems popping up on their neighbors' houses this spring and began to wonder about their own radon level. An initial test reported a level of 60.7 pCi/L. The Dow City homeowners, and our team, were shocked by this incredibly high reading but a few additional tests confirmed that Dave and Phyllis needed to act quickly to protect their health. Our team installed a mitigation system that, with the help of a Breath EZ air filter, can lower the Dow City home's level as quickly as possible. Given the home's high levels, our team recommended a few follow-up visits to ensure that the system is running smoothly and efficiently.  Radon, more than many home issues, is regional. If a high radon level is detected in your home, your neighbors likely have similar levels. When Dave and Phyllis noticed mitigation systems appearing in their area, they were right to be concerned. Our Neighborhood Protection Program, which offers free tests to our customers' neighbors, aims to address this. Because, often, the biggest issue in radon mitigation is realizing you need it.

When Mark and Alice bought their Spirit Lake home several years ago, they knew right away it had some moisture problems. An inspection of their crawlspace revealed their fears were correct and motivated a radon test as well.  The radon test confirmed a need for mitigation and our team was able to collaborate with waterproofing efforts to install a system that would keep their home radon-free while saving the Spirit Lake homeowners time.
