Maine Radon & Environmental Before & After Photos

A homeowner in Windham, Maine, reached out to Maine Radon & Water Treatment for help with their indoor water quality concerns. We started by conducting thorough water quality testing to figure out the best solution. After evaluating the situation, we decided to install the Water Filter 1.5CF Impression water softener system known for its ability to effectively tackle sulfur and iron issues commonly found in troublesome well water. These units work by using air-injection to oxidize sulfur or iron, transforming them into particles that can be easily filtered out. This method of air filtration is environmentally friendly, as it doesn't involve any harmful chemicals. The end result? Fresh, clean water straight from the tap every time. During the installation, the client was present and left very satisfied with the outcome.

A Windham, Maine homeowner contacted Maine Radon & Water Treatment to address issues with their well water. The 3.5-year-old well exhibited two common signs of well water problems: a rotten egg odor and surface staining.

To determine the most effective course of action, we began with a comprehensive water quality test. This analysis played a vital role in crafting a solution to target the specific problems identified.

Combating Common Well Water Issues

Based on the test results, we recommended and installed the Filter 2.5CF Impression Plus Meter Aeration Unit with Centaur Carbon. This system is specifically designed to tackle sulfur and iron, two frequent culprits in well water woes.

Here's how the Impression Plus system works:

• Air Injection Technology: The system uses air injection to oxidize the sulfur and iron present in the water. Oxidation essentially converts these contaminants into a solid form.
• Filtration Power: Once oxidized, the iron and sulfur become filterable precipitates. The system's filtration process effectively removes these unwanted elements, leaving clean water behind.
• Eco-Friendly Approach: A significant advantage of the Impression Plus system is its reliance on air injection. This method eliminates the need for harsh chemicals, making it an environmentally friendly solution.

The Reward: Clean and Fresh Water

The installation of the Impression Plus system successfully addressed the homeowner's concerns. They can now enjoy fresh, clean, and odor-free water straight from the tap. This solution not only eliminates the unpleasant odor but also prevents staining on surfaces like sinks and bathtubs.

Windham Homeowner Prioritizes Quiet Radon Mitigation

A homeowner in Windham, Maine contacted Maine Radon & Water Treatment to activate an existing passive radon system. Their top priority was minimizing noise from the new radon fan.

Collaborative Planning and System Activation

The homeowner requested the quietest possible fan option. We would work together to determine the most suitable model while ensuring compatibility with the existing system.

Adapting to Existing System Challenges

While most of the radon piping was encased in drywall, access points existed above a drop ceiling. This would allow for the installation of a manometer, a crucial tool for measuring system effectiveness.

The project also involved careful handling of the existing piping due to a history of roof leaks.

Peace of Mind with Quiet, Effective Radon Mitigation

Through this collaborative approach, we would activate the existing passive system with a quiet, premium radon fan. This would significantly reduce radon levels in the homeowner's Windham residence, ensuring a healthier and more comfortable living environment.

Windham Condo Resident Takes Action on Potential Radon

A resident in a Windham, Maine condo building contacted Maine Radon & Water Treatment due to concerns about radon gas. They suspect a passive radon system might already be present in their unit (one of two within the building, with separate basements for each). This proactive approach was prompted by ongoing basement work in their neighbor's unit. The resident is interested in both testing and mitigation, with a preference for a quiet solution.

Initial Test Reveals Elevated Levels:

An initial test conducted by Maine Radon & Water Treatment revealed a radon level of 60.3 pCi/L, exceeding the EPA's recommended action level of 4 pCi/L. This indicates the need for mitigation to ensure a healthy living environment.

Addressing the Neighbor's Interest:

The neighbor's interest in testing and mitigation is commendable. Once they're ready, we can extend our expertise to assess their unit's specific needs and provide tailored testing and mitigation solutions.
