The Challenge: High Radon Levels Threaten a New Beginning
Daryl and Shelbie had just purchased their dream home on the peaceful outskirts of Columbia, TN—a classic ranch-style house with a full basement and a crawl space. Their vision was to turn this home into both a sanctuary and the headquarters for their growing home improvement business.
But soon after moving in, their excitement turned to concern. Initial air quality tests revealed elevated radon levels in the basement—dangerously exceeding the Environmental Protection Agency’s (EPA) recommended safety limits. Radon, a silent and odorless radioactive gas, posed a serious health risk to their family and future business operations.
Compounding the issue, the crawl space access was severely restricted, making it difficult to inspect and address potential air quality hazards. Realizing the urgency of the situation, Daryl and Shelbie turned to The Clean Air Co. for a professional radon mitigation solution.

The Solution: A Multi-Layered Approach to Radon Mitigation
Our team began by expanding the crawl space entry, significantly improving accessibility for both inspection and future maintenance.
To directly address the radon problem, we implemented a state-of-the-art radon mitigation system:
- A specialized radon evacuation system was installed beneath the basement floor. This included precision drilling into the slab to create an efficient extraction point, coupled with high-performance radon ventilation plumbing and a powerful radon fan to continuously pull harmful gases from below.
- We installed a dedicated radon ventilation system in the crawl space to further reduce contamination risks.
- We sealed the crawl space with a heavy-duty vapor barrier to reinforce long-term air quality, preventing moisture buildup and additional radon intrusion.
With these strategic improvements, radon levels in the home were drastically reduced, restoring clean, breathable air. Daryl and Shelbie could now focus on growing their business with the confidence that their home—and their health—were well protected.
The Results: A Safer, Healthier Home for Years to Come
Thanks to our expert radon mitigation and crawl space solutions, Daryl and Shelbie’s home is no longer at risk from dangerous radon exposure. They now breathe easier, knowing their indoor air quality is safe and their property’s value is protected.
