A homeowner in Grand Forks, ND, recently learned about the danger that radon poses in homes. Concerned that her family was breathing in the toxic fumes, she went to the store to buy a radon test kit. A couple of days later, the test results came back above 4 pCi/L, which is above the EPA's required action level for radon. She immediately started looking for services in the area and came upon our website. She learned that we offer FREE estimates, and soon contacted us to schedule an appointment with one of our experts.
Our Design Specialist, Ian S., arrived on the scheduled date and immediately inspected the home to figure out where to install the radon mitigation system. He explained to the homeowner that the system needs to be installed on the lowest level of the home because radon is a by-product of uranium, which can be found in soil. As uranium decays, it releases radon gas. By placing the system on the footing of the home, it tackles the radon gas before it can enter your home. The homeowner thanked Ian for his explanation and approved his design.
In a couple of weeks, our Radon Sales & Service Technician, Jackson P., arrived at the home for the installation. Our radon mitigation system is a large-diameter plastic pipe that is installed at the footing and connects to the outside of the home. An in-line fan will suction out the radon gas beneath your foundation and vent it outdoors. After Jackson's installation was complete, he cleaned up his equipment and left the home.
Now, our customer is happy to know that she and her family are breathing in fresh and clean air! When was the last time you tested the radon levels of your home? Click HERE to schedule your FREE estimate!

A customer from Audubon, MN got in contact with us when he began to notice water entering his crawl space, creating musty odors and rotting wood.
