Before & After Photos

This homeowner in Norwich, CT called us hoping that we would be able to help her. She had recently purchased a home, and during the buying process, they tested the radon levels, and it came out to be 4.6 pCi/L. This is over the EPA's recommended Radon Action Level of 4.0 pCi/L. She was able to get a credit from the seller in order to start the radon mitigation process. 

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.

This homeowner in Gales Ferry, CT called us hoping she could get someone to take a look at her radon mitigation system. It was non-functioning and she wanted to have it checked out. When our certified radon measurement specialist came out to evaluate the system, he noted that the fan needed to be replaced. However, he also noted that there were several cracks in the floor. Cracks in a basement need to be sealed if you want to mitigate radon exposure. That is because radon can come through the cracks and into the home, circumventing the radon mitigation system.

We were able to help this customer. In addition to the fan replacement, we sealed the cracks in her basement floor. We lined the cracks on either side with painters tape. We then ensured the area was clean. After that, we went in to fill and seal the cracks using caulk. This prevents radon from entering the basement through them -- making sure that it is vented out using the mitigation system. This homeowner is much more happy now that her home's radon mitigation system is functioning! 

This homeowner in Rutland, MA called us hoping that we would be able to help him with testing his home for radon. He wanted to install a mitigation system after testing. However, when our certified radon measurement specialist came out to the home, he noted that there was already a passive radon system installed. When his test came back, the radon measurement specialist found that the homeowner's radon levels came out to 13.1 pCi/L. 

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 again, and he feels much better about his exposure.

The building manager for a library in Worcester, MA reached out to us with concerns about their radon levels. The library had closed while radon testing was being completed. However, when they received their radon test results, they could not reopen. Radon levels varied in the building, however, they were as high as 19 pCi/L in some areas of the library. As there were public-facing areas above the EPA's radon action level of 4 pCi/L, the city and the library's staff kept the library closed. They needed a long-lasting solution as quickly as possible.

We were able to help them with the library. We were able to install a radon mitigation system in the building. Due to the time-sensitive nature of their issue, we were able to make some adjustments in order to get them in as soon as possible. We started the installation by finding the best place for the system to go. Once that was identified, we were able to begin building the system. We drilled holes in the concrete slab of the basement as well as in the wall where the exterior penetration would be. We then began building the pipes, securing them in the basement. We drilled a small hole in the pipe and added the manometer. (The manometer measures the pressure of the radon in the system. It is a visual indicator of if the system is functioning as intended.) We then went outside of the library in order to complete the mitigation system. We built out the pipe and installed the fan on the outside of the library. We then were able to go back inside, sealing all of the holes for the system as well as all of the cracks and gaps in the basement. Now, the library has an efficient mitigation system so that they can reopen to the public! 

This homeowner in Worcester, MA reached out to us after a radon test found that his home's radon level was 6.9 pCi/L. He was interested in installing a mitigation system. Our radon specialist came out to the home to identify what was going on in his home. He found that the homeowner had a non-functioning radon system already installed. It needed a new fan. 

We were able to help this customer! We replaced his old, broken fan with a brand new one. We utilize many different radon fans, depending on the specifics of the home. After identifying the perfect fan, we removed the old one. We then installed the new one in its place. We also replaced the manometer on the inside of the home and labeled the radon pipe appropriately. We finally tested the system to ensure it was functioning. Now, the homeowner is very happy!
