Radon Mitigation Photo Album: Radon Mitigation in Scarborough, Maine

Prioritizing Healthy Air: Living in Scarborough, Maine, a homeowner recently learned about the potential health risks of radon exposure. Committed to a safe indoor air quality for their family, they proactively contacted Maine Radon & Water Treatment. Their newly built home in 2018 included a basement, prompting them to schedule radon gas testing for added assurance. Expert Evaluation and Customized Solutions: Our team of qualified radon inspectors responded promptly, conducting a thorough radon testing process in the homeowner's basement. The results indicated a level of 4.1 pCi/L, exceeding the EPA's recommended action level of 4 pCi/L. This finding necessitated further action to create a radon mitigation system. Optimizing an Existing System: Following a comprehensive inspection of the home, our installers discovered an existing passive radon system. To maximize its effectiveness, we assessed accessibility – the radon pipe was readily accessible via a hatch in the garage and vented through the roof. Collaboration was key – the homeowner's electrician agreed to install a dedicated outlet to power the system. While the homeowner opted against additional crack sealing for the time being, we recommended and installed a manometer in the basement to monitor the system's negative pressure, a crucial indicator of proper radon mitigation. Efficient Installation and Verification: Our team efficiently installed a radon fan to actively draw radon gas out of the home, transforming the passive system into a complete radon gas mitigation system. Here's a breakdown of the key installation steps: Radon Pipe Connection: Our technicians securely attached the radon fan to the existing radon pipe, ensuring a proper seal and efficient gas extraction. Manometer Installation: A manometer was strategically placed near the fan to provide a visual indication of the negative pressure created by the system. This negative pressure is crucial for effectively drawing radon gas out of the basement and venting it outdoors. Electrical Connection: Collaborating with the homeowner's electrician, we ensured a safe and functional electrical connection for the newly installed radon fan, powering the system for optimal performance. To confirm the system's effectiveness, we provided the homeowner with a follow-up radon testing kit. This commitment to verification ensures long-term peace of mind for the homeowner and their family.
