A Bridgton, Maine homeowner suspected elevated radon levels in their new home. Although their house had a partially installed radon system, they were unaware of its function until recently. After two years of residence, they discovered pipes potentially linked to the unfinished system and a dedicated radon breaker box. Concerned about the incomplete setup, they contacted Maine Radon & Water Treatment for a comprehensive solution.
Initial testing confirmed their concerns. The radon level measured a worrying 13.7 pCi/L, significantly exceeding safe limits. Maine Radon & Water Treatment conducted a thorough assessment, uncovering three pipes in the attic that might be part of the unfinished system, but their connection point in the basement remained a mystery.
Understanding the homeowner's preference for a passive system (if feasible), Maine Radon & Water Treatment provided a quote for completing the exterior run of the existing system. However, upon further inspection, our radon installers determined that activating a passive system wouldn't be possible.
Prioritizing the homeowner's safety and well-being, Maine Radon & Water Treatment proceeded with the installation of an exterior radon mitigation system. The outcome was a resounding success! A post-installation test revealed a dramatic reduction in radon levels, dropping to a safe 1.1 pCi/L. The homeowner expressed immense satisfaction, finally having a functioning radon system in place.
