A Westbrook, Maine homeowner, concerned about potential radon exposure in their home, reached out to Maine Radon & Water Treatment. Their excellent service and expertise made them the trusted choice for addressing this potential health risk. Confirming the Concern: Our team conducted a thorough radon test, and the results confirmed the homeowner's concerns. The measured level of 19 pCi/L significantly exceeded safe limits, highlighting the need for immediate action. Expert Assessment and Action: Maine Radon & Water Treatment's experts swiftly assessed the situation, clearly explaining the best course of action to the client. With a comprehensive plan in place, we proceeded with the installation of a custom radon mitigation system. Here's a breakdown of the installation process: Strategic Pipe Placement: Our team identified the optimal location in the basement slab to drill a hole for the radon pipe. This pipe serves as the pathway for drawing radon gas out of the home. Connecting the Dots: Existing pipes in the basement were carefully assessed for potential use within the system. New piping was added as needed to create a complete network connecting the basement entry point to the exterior discharge location. Radon Fan Installation: A powerful yet energy-efficient radon fan was strategically placed within the system. This fan continuously draws radon gas from the sub-slab area and vents it outside the home, ensuring effective removal. Manometer Monitoring: A manometer was strategically placed within the system to provide a visual indication of the suction power created by the radon fan. This allows for ongoing monitoring and system optimization to maintain peak performance. Verification of Success: Following the installation, we conducted a post-test using a fresh radon test kit. This crucial step verified the effectiveness of the mitigation system, ensuring a significant reduction in radon levels and a safe living environment for the homeowner. Breathing Easy Once Again:   The outcome was a resounding success! The client expressed immense satisfaction, knowing their home was now safe from the dangers of elevated radon. This peace of mind underscores the importance of radon testing and mitigation for a healthy living environment.
