Radon Information Photo Album: Radon Water Mitigation in Raymond, Maine

Understanding the Challenge: A concerned school teacher in Raymond, Maine contacted Maine Radon & Water Treatment to ensure their home's water safety. This proactive approach highlights the importance of regular water testing, especially for private well owners. Testing and Diagnosis: We conducted a comprehensive radon test to assess the water quality. The results revealed a radon level of 9,726 pCi/L, significantly exceeding Maine's recommended safe limit of 4,000 pCi/L. Radon gas exposure can pose health risks, so addressing this issue promptly was crucial. Customized Treatment Solution: To create a safe and effective water treatment plan, we implemented a two-step approach: Sediment Filtration: As the first line of defense, we installed a sediment filter. This filter removes dirt, sand, and other physical impurities that can clog pipes, shorten appliance lifespans, and potentially impact water taste and clarity. Advanced Radon Mitigation: We then installed the AlRaider 433 radon removal system with a 20-gallon expansion tank. This system tackles radon concerns effectively: Proven Technology: The AlRaider system boasts a proven track record of successfully reducing radon levels in homes. Enhanced Efficiency: The 20-gallon expansion tank optimizes system operation by minimizing pressure fluctuations and ensuring smooth system function. For safe and reliable electrical connection, a dedicated breaker was installed specifically for the radon system. Transparency and Future Maintenance: The client actively participated throughout the installation process, ensuring clear communication and addressing any questions they might have. Additionally, for simplified maintenance in the future, we installed boiler drains and valves to make filter changes effortless. The Outcome: By combining sediment filtration with the AlRaider 433 system, this Raymond teacher can now enjoy peace of mind. Their water is free from excessive radon levels and protected from common well water contaminants. This case study demonstrates the importance of water testing and the effectiveness of multi-stage water treatment solutions.
