This homeowner in Somers, CT called us hoping that we would be able to fix some of the issues his home was having with cold rooms. When our Home Comfort Specialist arrived in the home, they realized that one of the issues they were having was that their windows were inefficient and thin. There was a lot of conditioned air being loss and even more outside air getting in.
Luckily for this homeowner, we were able to help them out with this. We replaced the old and inefficient windows with our Everlast™ basement windows. These windows feature double pane glass that is treated to reduce heat flow in or out of the glass. They also have vinyl frames and sashes -- meaning they will not rust, rot, or need paint. This homeowner now will have less air leakage in and out of their home as well as a more temperature controlled basement. Plus, it no longer has a rusty, old appearance.
This homeowner in Somers, CT called us hoping that we would be able to come out and help him with a home he had recently purchased. He was renovating the home both inside and out. During the renovations, he decided to test his home for radon. His basement came out to be 4.5 pCi/L, which is above the EPA's Radon Action Level of 4 pCi/L. He wanted to reduce the level to under 4 pCi/L. It was important to him to do this as soon as possible, as he wanted to complete all of the work in the basement at the same time.
We were able to help this customer. We installed a radon mitigation system in his home. We identified a specific room in the basement where the mitigation system would be best installed. We began by drilling the holes in the basement -- both in the concrete slab in the bottom and the hole for the exterior penetration. We then began installing the pipes and secured them inside the basement. He installed the manometer on the pipe on the inside of the home. The manometer measures the pressure of the radon in the system, indicating whether or not it is functioning correctly. After that, he went outside to build the rest of the system. He installed the fan on the outside of the home. Once the system was installed, he went back inside, sealing around all of the cracks and gaps in the basement. He also sealed all of the holes that had been drilled for the system. Now, this homeowner has a radon mitigation system designed to keep their levels low!
