Georgia Radon Defense serving Conyers, GA

1. Why they needed a radon mitigation system:

   • The clients were concerned about the health risks associated with elevated radon levels in their new home, especially given the real estate transaction.

2. Why the customer chose the company:

   • They selected our company for our reputation for reliable service and effective solutions tailored to residential properties.

3. What's causing the problem:

   • Radon is a naturally occurring radioactive gas that can seep into homes, particularly those with basements, through cracks and openings in the foundation.

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

   • Conducted thorough testing to confirm radon levels.
   • Developed a customized mitigation plan suited for the basement foundation.
   • Installed a radon reduction system that included:
     • A vent pipe system to channel radon outside.
     • An active soil depressurization system to prevent radon from entering the home.
     • Sealing cracks and openings in the foundation to minimize entry points.
   • Conducted follow-up testing to ensure radon levels were significantly reduced.

5. What's unique about this situation:

   • This home was in the process of being purchased, making timely mitigation crucial for the clients’ peace of mind before closing the deal.

1. Why they needed a radon mitigation system: The homeowner, who is in the process of selling the property, required a radon test as part of the real estate transaction. Though the radon levels measured at 3.5 pCi/L, which is below the EPA action level, the buyer wanted additional peace of mind through proactive radon mitigation to reduce the risk even further.

2. Why the customer chose the company: The client chose our team based on our solid reputation in the area and our ability to work seamlessly with both buyers and sellers in real estate transactions. With a clear understanding of radon risks and a well-established approach to mitigation, we were the ideal choice for this homeowner.

3. What's causing the problem: The property had a basement foundation, which is a common area for radon gas to accumulate. Natural radon seepage from the soil beneath the home was identified as the source of the elevated levels.

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

   • Installed a sub-slab depressurization system to actively reduce radon gas levels.
   • Sealed small cracks and gaps in the basement floor to prevent radon intrusion.
   • Positioned the system's vent pipe to direct radon safely above the roofline, ensuring the gas is safely dispersed.
   • Tested the system to ensure effectiveness and lowered radon levels, enhancing safety.

5. What's unique about this situation: This project was unique due to the lower-than-actionable radon levels but with a buyer still requesting mitigation for added security. The proactive approach helped smooth the real estate transaction and provided peace of mind for both parties.

Why they needed a radon mitigation system: Brandon Dunlevy needed a radon mitigation system to address elevated radon levels in his newly purchased home. During the home inspection, radon levels were found to be 5.4 pCi/L, which prompted the need for mitigation to reduce potential health risks associated with long-term radon exposure.

Why the customer chose the company: Brandon chose Georgia Radon Defense (GRD) after submitting a contact form on their website. He was impressed by GRD's reputation for delivering effective solutions and their commitment to addressing radon issues comprehensively. The company’s professional approach and responsive service were key factors in his decision.

What's causing the problem: The high radon levels were due to radon gas infiltrating the finished basement through the foundation. Radon, being an odorless and invisible gas, can accumulate in indoor spaces, especially in areas with limited ventilation like basements.

How We Fixed the Problem (Mitigation Process):

• Conducted a detailed site assessment to determine the best location for the radon mitigation system.
• Installed an aesthetic exterior system designed to blend with the home’s exterior while ensuring effective radon removal.
• Utilized specialized equipment and techniques to lower radon levels and provide ongoing monitoring capabilities.

What's unique about this situation: This job was unique because it involved installing an exterior radon mitigation system in a finished basement setting, focusing on maintaining the home's aesthetic appeal while effectively addressing the radon issue. The client’s proactive approach in testing and mitigating radon shortly after purchasing the house highlights a commitment to long-term home safety.
