This homeowner in Marlborough, CT called us hoping that we would be able to help him with his home. His home's radon level had recently tested to be 7 pCi/L -- higher than the EPA's radon action level of 4 pCi/L. He wanted to have an evaluation in order to talk about mitigation solutions. He disclosed that the house had just been built, and it already had a radon pipe, just no fan. Our radon specialist came out in order to evaluate what solutions they would need.
We were able to help this customer. The existing radon system was completely internal -- it was routed up into the attic and out through the roof. We were able to help by adding a radon mitigation fan. This was added to the pipes in the attic. We also replaced the manometer in the basement with a brand new one. (The manometer measures the pressure of the radon gas in the pipe). We tested the system and were done. Now, this homeowner has a functioning radon mitigation system!
