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!
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!
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.
This homeowner in Lebanon, CT called us hoping to be able to help him with her home. She had tested her home's radon levels several times, and the tests all came out to 15 to 18 pCi/L. This is considered very high -- much higher than the EPA's recommended Radon Action Level of 4 pCi/L. She wanted her radon exposure lowered as soon as possible.

This homeowner in Norwich, CT called us regarding the radon level in her recently purchased home. She had had the home tested, and the radon level came out to 4.6 pCi/L. This is over the EPA's recommended Radon Action Level of 4.0 pCi/L. Therefore, she wanted to install a radon mitigation system immediately, as she was concerned about the health and safety of her family. She wanted her radon levels to be under 2 pCi/L.
We were able to help this customer. We installed a passive radon mitigation system in her home. We identified two separate locations that were in need of a radon fan. Once the ideal spaces for the system were located, our radon mitigation technician was able to begin to install them. 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. He then repeated the process for the next fan on the other side of the house. 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 she has a brand new mitigation system that will keep her radon levels low and her family more safe.
