Radon Mitigation in Portland, Maine 04103-3726

Samuel, a homeowner in Portland, Maine, recently discovered a rise in his home's radon levels. Originally within normal limits during purchase four years ago, subsequent monitoring revealed levels between 4 and 5 pCi/L, prompting action.

To address this concern, Samuel opted for a sub-slab depressurization system. He expressed a preference for installation in the right rear corner of the basement and acknowledged his responsibility for sealing the sump pump pit after installation.

Interestingly, despite the presence of a very wet basement without existing drain tile, Samuel expressed satisfaction with the planned solution. While a "super sump" pump might be necessary in the future to manage the moisture, the current focus remains on mitigating the radon issue.
