This homeowner in Springfield, MA reached out to us about installing a basement drop ceiling. She had a mostly finished basement, however, she wanted drop ceiling tiles to complete the look.
To install a drop ceiling, we had to first figure out what the grid needed to be for the framing. Once that was set, we install the wall molding and metal framing. Then, we install the ceiling tiles. Our basement drop ceiling tiles are 2' x 2' x 3/4"-thick. They are water resistant and are created from inorganic minteral fibers. Now, this homeowner has a beautiful new drop ceiling in her finished basement!
This homeowner in Southington, CT called us stating that his home's radon level came out to 9 pCi/L. This is higher than the EPA's radon action level of 4 pCi/L, which concerned him quite a lot. He wanted to install a mitigation system in order to lower his levels as soon as possible. Our radon measurement specialist came out to the home and identified the best spot for the mitigation system.
We were able to help this customer. We installed a radon mitigation system in his home. 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 his home low!
This homeowner in Westfield, MA reached out to us after purchasing a home. During the home buying process, the radon level was tested. It came back as 5.2 pCi/L, which is above the EPA's radon action level of 4 pCi/L. She wanted to get this fixed as soon as possible, as she wanted to feel comfortable before she moved into her home.

This homeowner in Westhampton, MA called us hoping that we would be able to help her with her radon mitigation system. She wanted to sell her house, however, the radon system they already had installed was non-functioning. She stated that at one point, the system became quite noisy, so she shut it off. When she went to turn it back on, it would not start.
We were able to help this customer. We replaced her old, non-functioning radon fan with a new one. We utilize many different radon fans depending on many different factors. This home required our Festa AMG Maverick fan. Now, this homeowner has a functioning radon mitigation fan, and she will feel confident listing her home on the market!
