Installing a Radon Mitigation System in Baltic, CT

This homeowner in Baltic, CT reched out to us looking for help with her home. She had a different air system installed by the previous owner, and while she initially believed it was built for radon mitigation, a contractor had told her that it was not. She wanted to add a mitigation system to lower her family's exposure. 

We were able to help this customer by installing a radon mitigation system. We began by drilling the holes in the basement -- both in the concrete slab in the bottom and the hole for the exterior penetration. He 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 system designed to keep the radon levels in her home low!
