Before & After Photos

The Finlayson family lived in a beautiful Parnell home, but a growing concern about radon gas—an invisible, odorless threat—was casting a shadow over their peace of mind. Uncertain of the air quality beneath their own roof and worried about the long-term health of their family, they reached out to MidAmerica Basement Systems for a professional assessment. Our inspection confirmed their fears: radon levels were significantly elevated, requiring immediate and expert intervention to make the home safe again.

In Homestead, IA, a homeowner set out to preserve their century-old home for the next generation. The goal was a full renovation, but high radon levels in the basement stalled progress. MidAmerica Basement Systems stepped in to clear the air. By installing our Premium Radon Mitigation System, we transformed the basement from a health hazard into a safe, renovation-ready space. As the "after" photo shows, the home is now protected and ready for its next 100 years.

Robert had some concerns about the radon levels in his home and decided it was a good idea to install a radon mitigation system. Radon is a radioactive, colorless, odorless and tasteless noble gas that occurs naturally as radium decays. Radon can be present in and outside of your home. Exposure to radon most commonly comes from being indoors.

In the before photo, notice the struggled of a Washington, IA home with high levels of radon seeping in through the crawl space. The issue compromised indoor air quality and posed a potential health risk. We tackled the problem head-on by installing a thorough mitigation system complemented by CleanSpace encapsulation. By incorporating the CleanSpace system with drainage matting and the mitigation system, we've transformed this formerly troubling space into a secure and dry foundation, seamlessly eliminating any radon concerns and enhancing the homes overall environment.
