Expert Mitigation for Lasting Peace of Mind: With complete confidence in our expertise, the homeowner readily accepted our proposal. Our certified radon mitigation specialists then installed a customized system, ensuring optimal placement for long-term effectiveness. Here's a breakdown of the mitigation process: Sealing Potential Entry Points: All cracks and gaps in the foundation and around the sump pump pit (if present) were meticulously sealed with a special sealant to prevent radon gas from entering the living space. Radon Pipe Installation: A strategically placed radon pipe was meticulously installed throughout the basement, ensuring proper connection to the rest of the system and reaching the designated exit point outside the home. Radon Fan Installation: A powerful yet energy-efficient radon fan was strategically placed within the system. This fan continuously draws radon gas from beneath the foundation and vents it safely outside the home. 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. Verification and Lasting Security:   The homeowner's relief upon learning their home was now safe from elevated radon levels is a testament to the success of the mitigation process. To provide further assurance, we even provided a post-test kit to verify the system's effectiveness.
