Before & After Photos

Explore our before and after documentation of radon mitigation improvements in a Bethany home. Starting with a radon level of 2.7 after initial mitigation from 4.8, the homeowner opted to further enhance safety by adding two additional extraction points. The before and after visuals demonstrate the strategic extension of the system with over 60 feet of reused Schedule 40 3" pipe, positioning the fan away from living areas to reduce noise and optimize functionality. These enhancements showcase our commitment to providing peace of mind through effective radon reduction strategies.

Discover the dramatic reduction in radon levels through our before and after gallery of a Bethany home mitigation project. Starting with a high radon level of 14 in a house built in 1964, our intervention involved designing a mitigation system optimized for a home without sump pumps or crawlspaces. The after photos showcase the effective installation that significantly improved the home's air quality, ensuring a safe environment for the new homeowners.

Before: The small Cape-style home, constructed in 1958 in West Haven, showed radon levels at 4.8 pCi/L, just above the EPA's action level, in an environment with no existing mitigation infrastructure like cracks or sump pumps.

 

After: Following the installation of a streamlined one-pipe radon mitigation system, radon levels in the home have been successfully reduced to safe levels. The system's discreet placement on the right side of the house minimizes visual impact while maintaining effective radon evacuation, securing a healthier living space for the occupants.

Before Installation:

A residence in Wolcott, CT, faced the common challenge of maintaining optimal indoor air quality. The household experienced issues with stale air, excess humidity in the summer, dryness in the winter, and concerns about energy loss when using traditional HVAC solutions for ventilation. The family was seeking a way to enhance their home environment without incurring exorbitant energy costs.

 

Our Solution:

We proposed the installation of an Energy Recovery Ventilator (ERV) system designed to exchange the stale, indoor air with fresh, filtered outdoor air while conserving energy. Prior to the installation, our team conducted a thorough evaluation of the home to ensure the selected ERV model would perfectly match their space and ventilation needs.

 

After Installation:

The installation of the ERV system has revolutionized the living environment for the family. Post-installation, the family now enjoys:

Fresh, clean air circulated throughout their home year-round.

Reduced allergens and pollutants, thanks to the ERV's advanced filtration capabilities.

Consistent indoor humidity levels, providing comfort in all seasons.

Energy savings, as the ERV preconditions the incoming air using the energy from the outgoing air.

A quiet and efficient system that seamlessly works with their existing HVAC setup.

Before:

In the scenic yet enclosed spaces of a Wolcott, CT home, the air was still and laden with the unseen weight of indoor pollutants. Despite the home's charm and warmth, the absence of adequate ventilation left its occupants wrestling with the stale air of sealed environments. Allergens circulated with nowhere to escape, and the moisture balance was far from ideal, making the indoor atmosphere feel less than comfortable. The energy costs associated with trying to maintain a comfortable and healthy indoor climate were a constant concern, with traditional heating and cooling systems working overtime yet falling short of providing the desired air quality.

 

After:

The installation of an Energy Recovery Ventilator (ERV) system has revolutionized the living environment of this Wolcott home. This state-of-the-art system, designed to exchange indoor air with fresh outdoor air, has introduced a new era of comfort and health. The ERV's intelligent design recovers heat and moisture from the outgoing air, ensuring that comfort is not sacrificed for ventilation. Now, every breath brings in freshness, with pollutants and allergens being efficiently expelled from the home. The once persistent issues of stale air and imbalanced humidity are now resolved, transforming the home into a sanctuary of clean, comfortable air.

 

Moreover, the ERV system has brought about an unexpected yet welcome benefit—energy savings. By optimizing the use of heating and cooling systems and reducing the need for artificial temperature control, the ERV system has made indoor air quality improvement both effective and efficient. The residents can now enjoy a healthier living space that not only feels great but is also kinder to their budget and the environment.

 

This transformation in Wolcott, CT, demonstrates the profound impact that modern ventilation technology can have on a home. The ERV installation has not just enhanced the quality of life for its inhabitants by providing a constant supply of fresh air but has also set a new standard for residential health, comfort, and energy efficiency.
