Concerned for the garage's stability and their family's health, the homeowner began looking into contractors in the area.

In about a week, our Design Specialist, Nate B., arrived at the home for the inspection. During the inspection, he began by looking at the garage. He took a close look at the foundation and took precise measurements to see how much the foundation had shifted. Next, he took a close look at the layout of the home, taking note of the areas where our radon mitigation system could be installed. After reporting his findings, Nate began working on a solution. To stabilize the garage, he recommended installing our GeoLock channel anchors that redirect pressure against the foundation to stable soil. To reduce the radon levels, he recommended installing the radon fan at the exterior of the home and having it connect to the concrete floor in the basement. This system is designed this way so that it can effectively suction our the radon gas and expel it above the roofline before it can enter the home. Happy with the solution, the homeowner decided to move forward with the project.

In about a week, our Foreman, Dakota M., and his crew arrived at the home to install the radon mitigation system.
