Before & After Photos

This is a two point system due to elevated radon levels. One point in the unfinished room and the second on the other side of the dividing wall in the closet. Home owners were to move a couple totes and Santas where the extraction point can be straight down. These are the only unfinished areas in the basement with limited outside options. The complicated part is where to put the fan outside. Homeowner has three pieces of the deck outside that can be lifted up for access. Only other option is coring out through the deck right next to wood which homeowner said would be okay. The project specialist suggested that it would be to the left side of the window on the deck. The client agreed as there wasn't much a better choice. It turned out great!

This client had her home tested and got levels of 23 -- which is entirely higher than other homes. She was worried if her family has been exposed but they are not experiencing any symptoms so she wanted to make sure it does not get worse in the future. 

This will be an interior system that will run out from the sump pit in the utility room. There is also a sewage pit that I explained to the client where we do not touch the interior system since it will run up through the rim joist and out into the garage. The client was asking if we would be able to hide the PVC routing and tuck it away on the wall side of where the fridge is. We can then write it up into the garage and out the back side of the house to hide the extraction point through the roof. A Breathe EZ filter will also be installed. This all stem from the fact that the client's husband was diagnosed with Stage 2 lung cancer which is what prompted their inquiry into radon mitigation in the first place. They live on an acreage with a couple horses and two cute little donkeys.

Radon Mitigation Installed for Newborn Baby

Kenzie and her husband just had a baby girl 2 weeks ago and bought the house about a year ago. A previous charcoal test kit (radon test) came back with levels of 11, our Eco Blue Monitor was showing a 5.5 but near an exterior door and window. The home had a mostly-finished basement and an inaccessible crawlspace. They didn't have a sump pit, so the best option to do was a sub slab extraction point in closet of guest room on backside of house and core through wall to exit, place fan and run up and around soffit. They have two friendly dogs, a golden retriever and golden doodle. Kenzie was very nice, as was her mom who was there helping with the baby. Everything went smooth as silk! Clients are happy!

How to prevent radon?

This is a 1 point system that will be exiting out of the sump and out throught the garage. Homeowner looking to have the stack run close to the corner of the house so it can tuck in behind the garage door that opens if possible. Then vent out through the back side of the roof. The team advised him that this would all be possible but we also need to have enough room to run pipe as well as add the fan. Client agreed and he will also be adding an ERV into the laundry room. Inlet for air will be in this room as there is a patio out back. Was up in the air on where they would like the exhaust to come out. Also looking to have air suction from inside the house to help with circulation. Radon levels were at a 30 so it was really suggested to mitigation. They were actually a super nice couple who were very understanding.
