Radon Mitigation in Cape Elizabeth, Maine

A Cape Elizabeth homeowner, prioritizing their family's health, took action upon discovering a concerning radon level of 18 pCi/L in their home. Radon, a colorless, odorless gas that seeps into buildings, is the leading cause of lung cancer among non-smokers according to the EPA. This level significantly exceeds the EPA's action level of 4 pCi/L, posing a serious health risk.

Our Approach to Safeguarding Your Home:

Maine Radon & Water Treatment prioritizes your family's well-being. Here's how we addressed the homeowner's concerns:

1. Prompt Action: Our radon experts responded quickly with a detailed quote and scheduled a site visit.
2. Thorough Inspection: Our team conducted a comprehensive inspection to identify all potential radon entry points.
3. Custom-Designed Solution: Based on the inspection findings, they determined the optimal location for a radon mitigation system, the most effective approach for this situation.
4. Expert Installation: Our certified radon installers efficiently installed a sub-slab depressurization (SSD) system. This method utilizes a suction pipe beneath the basement floor slab connected to a powerful radon fan outside the home. The fan continuously draws radon gas out of the soil and vents it safely outdoors. Additionally, they ensured the existing sump pump was properly sealed to further minimize radon infiltration.
5. Post-Installation Verification: Our commitment to your health doesn't stop at installation. We conducted a follow-up radon test to confirm the system's effectiveness. The results were clear – the homeowner's radon level had significantly dropped to a safe 2.4 pCi/L.
