Expert Mitigation for Long-Term Security: Our certified radon mitigation specialists then conducted a thorough inspection of the area. This personalized approach ensured the system would be strategically placed for optimal effectiveness. The installation process itself went smoothly, and our installers ensured: Meticulous Sealing: All cracks and gaps identified during the inspection were meticulously sealed with a special sealant to prevent future radon gas intrusion. This included any cracks around the sump pump pit (if present). Strategic Pipe Placement: The 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. Powerful 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 Peace of Mind: The homeowner expressed immense satisfaction with the entire process, particularly the personalized approach and clear communication. The knowledge that the system came with a comprehensive warranty provided added peace of mind. Following installation, we conducted a post-radon test using a new kit to verify the system's effectiveness. The results were a resounding success, with the radon level dropping significantly to a safe 1.0 pCi/L.
