   Our expertise in air quality solutions and reputation for delivering effective, tailored systems made us the homeowner’s trusted choice.

4. How We Fixed the Problem (Mitigation Process):

• Installed the Breathe EZ filter to effectively capture airborne particles, including dust and allergens, enhancing the overall indoor air quality.
• Added a UVC light system to help neutralize bacteria, mold, and viruses, providing an extra layer of air purification.

5. What’s unique about this situation:
   The client originally reached out months earlier, during a period when we were transitioning to a new scheduling system. Despite this, we maintained communication and delivered a customized solution that met their air quality needs, highlighting our dedication to exceptional service and follow-through.

Why they needed a radon mitigation system: The homeowners discovered high radon levels in their finished basement through a self-test. Concerned about the health risks associated with radon exposure, they sought a solution to improve their indoor air quality and mitigate the risks posed by radon decay products.

Why the customer chose the company: The decision to choose our company was influenced by a recommendation from Alpha Energy Laboratories. Our expertise in enhancing indoor air quality and the availability of the Breathe EZ Air Cleaner, which fit their needs, were key factors in their choice.

What's causing the problem: Radon gas, which can seep in from the ground beneath the foundation, was accumulating in the finished basement. This odorless and invisible gas can lead to increased levels of radon decay products indoors, necessitating intervention to improve air quality.

How We Fixed the Problem (Mitigation Process):

• Conducted an assessment of the radon levels and indoor air quality.
• Installed a Breathe EZ Air Cleaner in the HVAC system located in the basement.
• Enhanced air filtration to reduce radon decay products and improve overall indoor air quality.

What's unique about this situation: Rather than opting for a full radon mitigation system, the homeowners chose to install an air cleaner. This approach allowed them to address their air quality concerns specifically related to radon decay products without a comprehensive mitigation system. The Breathe EZ Air Cleaner provided an effective solution that met their needs while maintaining their indoor air quality.

Why they needed a radon mitigation system: The homeowners in Lawrenceville, GA, discovered that their crawlspace had elevated radon levels, averaging 5.4 pCi/L, which posed a significant health risk.

Why the customer chose the company: The son of the homeowners chose Georgia Radon Defense due to our reputation for effective radon mitigation and our ability to seamlessly integrate solutions with existing home structures.

What's causing the problem: The elevated radon levels were caused by the natural accumulation of radon gas in the crawlspace, a common issue in homes with this type of foundation.

How we fixed the problem: We conducted a thorough inspection and installed a robust radon mitigation system, including a strategically placed piping system and an exterior radon fan. We also integrated a manometer to monitor the system’s pressure, ensuring the setup worked effectively with the existing high-quality membrane.

What's unique about this situation: The existing crawlspace was already equipped with a high-quality membrane, allowing us to focus directly on enhancing radon mitigation without needing additional structural modifications, making the installation both efficient and minimally disruptive.

1. Why They Needed a Radon Mitigation System:

A Lawrenceville homeowner's self-administered radon test revealed a concerning level of 6.8 pCi/L. Radon gas, a naturally occurring health hazard, can seep into homes through cracks in foundations, crawlspaces, or sump pump pits. This homeowner, recognizing the potential health risks, sought a professional solution to create a healthy living environment.

2. Why They Chose Georgia Radon Defense:

• Proactive Approach Resonated: The homeowner's quick action after a self-administered test suggests they value taking charge of their health and home environment. Georgia Radon Defense might be known for encouraging such proactive measures.

3. What Caused the Problem:

Radon gas naturally occurs in the soil and can enter homes through cracks in foundations, crawlspaces, or sump pump pits. In this case, the presence of a finished basement suggests radon might be seeping through foundation cracks or imperfections.

4. How We Fixed the Problem:

Georgia Radon Defense designed and installed a custom Aesthetic System - Exterior:

• Strategic Pipe Network: Discreetly placed pipes are carefully routed throughout the basement to efficiently collect radon gas.
• Powerful Radon Fan: A strategically positioned, energy-efficient fan continuously draws radon gas from beneath the foundation.
• Discreet Exterior Exit: The collected gas is then safely vented outdoors through a discreet pipe that terminates on the exterior of the home.

5. What's Unique About This Situation?

The unique aspect lies in the homeowner's proactive approach. They didn't wait for professional testing but took action after a self-administered test revealed a concern. This demonstrates a high level of awareness and commitment to a healthy home.

Mario contacted Georgia Radon Defense after a home inspection revealed radon levels of 10.5 pCi/L, over double the EPA's action limit of 4.0 pCi/L. Recognizing the urgency of real estate transactions, we promptly dispatched someone to devise a mitigation plan. Once the plan was finalized, our skilled technicians, Trent and Adorian, were dispatched to install the radon mitigation system. 

Fortunately, the post-mitigation radon test revealed that Mario's levels decreased to 1.5 pCi/L. With this successful mitigation, Mario was able to proceed with the sale of his home without further delay.

Jorge contacted Georgia Radon Defense regarding concerns about radon levels in his first-floor apartment. Responding promptly, we dispatched someone to conduct a 48-hour continuous radon monitor test in his apartment.

The test revealed levels of 3.4 pCi/L, which is below the EPA's action limit of 4.0 pCi/L. However, given the proximity to the action limit, we advised Jorge to continue monitoring his levels over a longer period. Radon levels fluctuate due to various environmental factors, making continuous monitoring essential for accurate assessment.

While the 48-hour tests serve as a useful starting point for planning mitigation, they are primarily employed in real estate transactions. The best way to know your true radon exposure is by utilizing a continuous radon monitor.
