A customer from Lansing, IA got in contact with us when they began to fear that their home may be inhibited by Radon, a colorless, odorless, naturally occurring gas that comes from the breakdown and decay of the soil that surrounds the foundation of the home. When our customer called in, we set them up with a FREE no-obligation estimate. Our Design Specialist, Jarrett, headed out to the property to see what could be done. He began by performing a 48-hour charcoal test, which he left behind to monitor the levels of Radon in the home. Once completed, the home was found to have unsafe levels of Radon. Jarrett recommended the installation of a Radon mitigation system and the couple agreed.
Our Production crew, led by Dakota, installed the system in no time. Now, our customers don't need to worry about breathing hazardous gas in their home!
A West Salem, WI, homeowner was surfing the web one day when she stumbled upon an article about radon gas. She read about the hazards that radon gas poses to a household and that the Midwest has some of the highest radon levels in the US due to the geological makeup of the area. The homeowner decided to locate a radon specialist in Wisconsin. Through an internet search, she found our website. She was impressed with our radon gas mitigation system images and decided to sign up for our FREE estimate. While she waited for her appointment, she headed to her local home improvement store to purchase an at-home radon monitoring test.
Several weeks later, our Design Specialist, Ross J, was scheduled to head out to the home. When he arrived, he learned that the homeowner had conducted a home test which had indicated higher-than-average radon levels. So, Ross began his appointment looking for the appropriate place to out a mitigation system. When he finished his walkthrough, he met with the homeowner. Ross explained that a typical radon mitigation system consists of a large-diameter plastic pipe that connects the air beneath your foundation to the outdoors. An in-line fan sucks radon-rich air from beneath your foundation and expels this hazardous air to the exterior. Instead of entering your basement or other living space area through numerous gaps and cracks in the foundation, radon gas is extracted from beneath your foundation before it can permeate into interior space. When installed by an experienced radon mitigation specialist, a radon abatement system will lower the concentration of radon gas in your interior air to the minimal levels recommended by the EPA and other health and safety agencies. The homeowner was impressed with Ross's solution and signed on the spot.
The day of the installation eventually rolled around. Our Foreman, Geno, and his team wasted no time getting to work installing the system. After a long day for our crew, our customer was delighted to know that she could put her faith in the air her and her family were breathing in each day!
A homeowner from La Crosse, WI, had been reading a local newspaper when she saw one of our print ads for radon gas mitigation. She didn't know much about radon, so she took to the internet. What she found out was very disconcerting, so she decided to call us to schedule a FREE estimate. Several weeks later, our Design Specialist, Brad W, was headed out to the home.
When Brad arrived, the first step in his process was to place a continuous radon monitoring test in the lowest level of the home. Brad explained that this test works to record the radon levels within the home over a 48-hour timespan. After the test concludes, an average radon level will be delivered. Brad went on to say that if the levels came back higher than 4 pCi/L, he would strongly recommend the installation of a radon mitigation system. He explained that a typical radon mitigation system consists of a large-diameter plastic pipe that connects the air beneath your foundation to the outdoors. An in-line fan sucks radon-rich air from beneath your foundation and expels this hazardous air to the exterior. Instead of entering your basement or other living space area through numerous gaps and cracks in the foundation, radon gas is extracted from beneath your foundation before it can permeate into interior space. The homeowner liked the sound of Brad's plan but decided to wait until the results returned to make a choice.
On the day of the project, our Foreman, Geno M, and his team were able to effortlessly install the system within the home. Now, our customer can have confidence in the air circulating in her home!
A homeowner from La Crosse, WI, had just learned that his neighbor had his home tested for radon gas. The homeowner knew very little about the dangers of radon gas but decided to find a radon specialist near La Crosse, WI. During his search, he decided to head to a home improvement store to test the levels of radon in his home himself. When he found our website, he was impressed with other radon system installations we had done in his area. He decided to sign up for his FREE estimate, and several weeks later our Design Specialist, Nate B, headed out to the home.
When Nate arrived, the homeowner informed him that he had tested his home and that the levels had come back higher than average. Nate then inspected the house and found the best place for a radon mitigation system. Nate explained that a typical radon mitigation system consists of a large-diameter plastic pipe that connects the air beneath your foundation to the outdoors. An in-line fan sucks radon-rich air from beneath your foundation and expels this hazardous air to the exterior. Instead of entering your basement or other living space area through numerous gaps and cracks in the foundation, radon gas is extracted from beneath your foundation before it can permeate into interior space. He went on to say that when installed by an experienced radon specialist, a radon mitigation system will lower the concentration of radon gas in your interior air to minimal levels recommended by the EPA and other health agencies. The homeowner liked Nate's suggestion and signed for the project on the spot.
On the day of the project, our Foreman, Dakota M, made quick work of the installation. When he had finished, our customer was thrilled to know that the air circulating in his home was radon-free!
A homeowner in Onalaska, WI, came upon our blog post discussing the dangerous health risks of radon and was worried that his family was unknowingly breathing in the toxic fumes. He learned that radon is a by-product of uranium, a naturally occurring radioactive element that breaks down in soil. Over time, as the soil decays, it breaks down into radium and eventually turns into radon gas. Radon gas is extremely hazardous, as it is the second-leading cause of lung cancer. Soon after learning this information, he decided to sign up for his FREE estimate, and a few weeks later, our Design Specialist, Will R., headed out to the home.
When Will arrived, he tested for radon by placing a continuous radon monitoring test in the lowest level of the home. The test works to gauge and record radon levels in the home in 48 hours. Will also informed the homeowner that he would consider adding a Radon Mitigation system to the home if the test results are above 4pCi/L, which is the Environmental Protection Agency's required action level. He also explained that if the test results were not at a dangerous level, it was always good to have your home regularly tested for radon gas. Unfortunately, we cannot smell, taste, see, touch, or hear radon, which makes it extremely important to test for radon gas levels every 2 years. After a few weeks, the test results came back above 4 pCi/L, and the homeowner contacted Will and scheduled the installation.
In about a month, our Foreman, Dakota M., and his crew traveled to the home for the installation. Our radon mitigation system is a large plastic pipe with an in-line fan that sucks radon-rich air beneath your foundation and spews it outdoors. After the installation, our customer was pleased to have clean air!
