Reducing Radon Levels in Armour, SD

Service: Radon Mitigation System Installation
Location: Armour, South Dakota

🚧 The Problem

Jared, a homeowner in Armour, SD, recently built a new home and wanted to ensure his family’s air was safe and healthy. Having previously worked with Blackburn on his old home — where we installed a radon mitigation system, foundation anchors, and a full WaterGuard® system with a TripleSafe™ sump pump — he already knew the value of proactive protection and trusted the quality of our work.

Understanding that radon is a colorless, odorless gas that can pose serious health risks, Jared reached out to our team again to help reduce potential radon levels in his new home before they became a concern.

🧰 The Solution

Our technician designed and installed a professional radon mitigation system utilizing the existing sump pit. To keep the system efficient and visually appealing, we added a clear, airtight sump lid and ran the vent piping vertically out the back of the home, securely fastening it for a clean finish.

The electrical wiring was neatly routed down the side of a stud to maintain a professional appearance, while the vent line was extended up the home’s exterior and over the gutters for optimal airflow and system performance.

Every detail was handled with care to ensure both effectiveness and curb appeal — a hallmark of the Blackburn team’s commitment to quality craftsmanship.

✅ The Results

Jared was thrilled with the outcome and confident that his home’s radon levels would drop significantly. Having seen firsthand how our systems perform over the years, he was once again reassured by the professionalism, organization, and precision of the installation.

Another safe, satisfied homeowner — and another example of Blackburn Foundation Repair delivering healthier, more protected homes across South Dakota.
