Installing a Radon Mitigation System in Ellington, CT

This homeowner called us hoping to be able to help him with his home. He had recently tested his home using a short term radon test kit, and the radon level came back at 4.1 pCi/L. This is over the EPA's recommended Radon Action Level of 4 pCi/L. He was hoping to mitigate his radon exposure for the health and safety of himself and his family. He wanted a mitigation solution that would match his needs. 

We were able to help this customer. We installed a passive radon mitigation system in his home. Once the ideal space for the system is located, our radon mitigation technician was able to install it. He first started by drilling a hole into the concrete slab in the basement. Once the core had been removed, the radon technician installed a pipe and secured it. He also installed a manometer - which measures the pressure of the radon in the system. This is the indicator of whether or not the radon system is functioning correctly. He then drilled a hole for the exterior penetration and installed pipes for that as well. He then went to the outside of the home, installing the fan. The technician then sealed all cracks, gaps, and around the holes drilled for the system. After a quick test of the system, our radon technician was done and the homeowner was happy! Now he has a brand new mitigation system that will keep his radon levels low and his family more safe.
