No More Radon Levels in Home of South Amana, IA
Challenge
Radon is a colorless, odorless gas, making it impossible to detect without professional equipment. Deb ordered a self-test kit to get a baseline reading of her home's air quality. The results were clear: her home tested positive for elevated radon levels.
Unwilling to let her family live with the risks associated with radon exposure, Deb contacted MidAmerica Basement Systems to schedule a formal consultation.
Solution
A MidAmerica Design Specialist visited the home to conduct a thorough assessment. During the consultation, the specialist emphasized a critical point: there is no truly "safe" level of radon. To provide the highest level of protection, they recommended a comprehensive Radon Mitigation System.
To maximize the value and longevity of the installation, Deb opted for two key components:
- Radon Mitigation System: A high-efficiency system designed to pull radon from beneath the foundation and vent it safely outside.
- Exterior Aesthetic Package: A premium add-on that protects the system’s components. This includes a protective cover plate to shield wiring from the elements, prevent tampering by vandals, and keep local wildlife out of the unit.
The installation was a success, blending functionality with the home's original curb appeal. The Aesthetic Package ensured the system remained clean and unobtrusive, preserving the beauty of Deb’s property while performing its vital role.
