In Cripple Creek, CO, a unique A-frame cabin required radon mitigation to address elevated levels detected in both the basement and the main structure. With the basement measuring at 33 pCi/L and the A-frame around 9 pCi/L, the homeowner chose Purple Mountain Radon for their expertise in effectively managing such challenges. To streamline the mitigation process, the team connected the exhaust systems from the crawlspace and window well, utilizing a radon exhaust pipe to exit from the crawlspace while avoiding the installation of two separate systems. Additionally, they addressed the wood foundation's unique requirements by fastening a vapor barrier using trim-sized lumber. This comprehensive approach not only improved the home’s safety but also significantly reduced radon risk, ensuring a healthier living environment. If you’re looking to enhance your home’s safety and reduce radon risk, consider expert radon mitigation solutions tailored to your unique needs.

When new homeowners moved into their Lake George, CO home, they discovered radon levels at 5 pCi/L, with a significant source being the unsealed crawlspace. To address this, Purple Mountain Radon implemented a sub-membrane depressurization system. The process included installing a gas mat on the crawlspace floor, encapsulating the space with a durable 6.5 mil vapor barrier, and mechanically fastening it to prevent tears. The barrier was securely sealed to the walls, creating an airtight space, and a radon suction point was installed at the exterior rim joist. The result was a significant reduction in radon exposure, giving the new homeowners peace of mind.
