Rapidos® Featured on Holmes 911 Show on CTV Life

Did you know that Rapidos® is being featured in episode 4 of ‘Holmes 911’ on Tuesday, October 8th on the CTV Life channel?

For our friends south of the border… you can watch it in the U.S. on Episode 4 of ‘Holmes and Holmes’ - Season 3 which airs on October 23rd on the DIY Network.

The first episode, “Families Helping Families” can now be viewed online here and pulled on all of our heartstrings! Patricia and Rod’s son Jake was diagnosed with brain cancer at the age of 7, forcing Patricia to quit her job. Their house “The City Barn” needed a lot of repairs, and they also wanted to make it accessible for Jake. When Mike and his crew took over the job, they had to deal with structural issues and a very odd discovery while digging the footings in the basement.

Is there radon in your water?

You can’t see, smell or taste it, but radon is present to some degree in the air that you breathe. If you’re on a residential well, it’s likely in the water you drink.

High levels of dissolved radon are found in the groundwater in some areas flowing through granite or granitic sand and gravel formations. If you live in an area with high radon in groundwater it can get into your private well and create an entry point for radon to enter your house. Showering, washing dishes, and laundering can disturb the water and release radon gas into the air you breathe! (Source: CDC)

Since Mike Holmes Jr. installed an Airwell on the country house on Holmes + Holmes, the questions have been flooding in about radon in water.

Airwell technology works like this:

  1. Purification.

    The Airwell system recirculates and oxidizes residential well water. Water quality is improved by injecting air into the water at source. Pressurized air lifts contaminated water to the surface and releases radon gas. Airwell can also be used as a methane and sulphur mitigation system too. It will also precipitate iron out of the water.

  2. Efficiency.
    Airwell is a low voltage system, consuming roughly the same energy as a 60W light bulb. Patented aeration chamber requires no maintenance or cleaning. Airwell runs 24/7.

  3. Performance.
    Airwell does not affect a constant pressure system. Airwell pumps air 30’ below the water level.

  4. Safety.
    Water is aerated from the aquifer. Radon levels will continue to drop over time. The system is flexible in both the depth of well and the level of radon that can be mitigated.

International Builders' Show 2019 in Las Vegas

After a successful show at BUILDEX Vancouver on February 13th and 14th, we were off to exhibit in Las Vegas at the International Builders’ Show (IBS) from February 19th to 21st… and what an unbelievable week it was!

We kicked off the week at the 4th Holmes Summit with many other Holmes Approved Builders and Product partners. It was a packed day sharing ideas and learning about other Holmes Approved Products and Builders.

This was Radon Environmental’s 2nd year attending the IBS Show & Holmes Summit but our first year exhibiting at the show. What an incredible turnout! We even had Mike Holmes and Mike Holmes Jr. visit our booth on Day 2 - check out this video of the Live event.

Here are some photos from our week at IBS 2019 - we are already planning 2020!
