Before & After Photos

This homeowner in Thompson, CT called us hoping that we would be able to help her with the home she was closing on. During the homebuying process, they found that their radon level fell between 8 and 10 pCi/L on average. This is higher than the EPA's radon action level of 4 pCi/L. She was very uncomfortable about how high the radon level was. She wanted a mitigation system installed immediately -- ideally before they moved into the home. 

We had the perfect solution for this customer! We installed a radon mitigation system in his home. We identified the specific space where the mitigation system should be installed. After that, we drilled a hole in the floor as well as a hole in the wall for the exterior penetration. We put together the pipes, starting in the floor, and built it out through the exterior penetration to the outside. We secured the pipes to the wall, and then installed the manometer onto the pipe. (A manometer measures the pressure of the radon gas in the system, indicating whether or not the system is functioning). We then went outside to continue building out the system. We installed the fan and continued building out the pipes, securing them to the outside of the home. Our technician then sealed around the holes that had been drilled for the system. Now, the homeowner has a brand new radon system for their new home! 

This homeowner in Thompson, CT called us hoping to install a radon mitigation system in her home. Her radon levels were, on average, 8-10 pCi/L. This is much higher than the EPA's radon action level of 4 pCi/L. This was also a new home, that she had just purchased -- and she wanted to ensure that this was taken care of as soon as possible. When our certified radon measurement specialist came out to evaluate the home, he noted that there were several cracks in the floor. Cracks in a basement need to be sealed if you want to mitigate radon exposure. That is because radon can come through the cracks and into the home, circumventing the radon mitigation system.

We were able to help this customer. In addition to the fan replacement, we sealed the cracks in her basement floor. We lined the cracks on either side with painters tape. We then ensured the area was clean. After that, we went in to fill and seal the cracks using caulk. This prevents radon from entering the basement through them -- making sure that it is vented out using the mitigation system. This homeowner's mitigation system can now keep their radon levels as low as possible!

This homeowner in Thompson, CT called us looking for radon fan replacement. It was no longer functioning, and he wanted it fixed as soon as possible. Our radon specialist came out to the home to identify what was going on with his fan, and what he would need. His fan was unable to be fixed, and it needed to be replaced.

We were able to help this customer! We replaced his old, broken fan with a brand new one. We utilize many different radon fans, depending on the specifics of the home. After identifying the perfect fan, we removed the old one. We then installed the new one in its place. We also replaced the manometer on the inside of the home and labeled the radon pipe appropriately. We finally tested the system to ensure it was functioning. Now, the homeowner is very happy! 

The building manager for a library in Worcester, MA reached out to us with concerns about their radon levels. The library had closed while radon testing was being completed. However, when they received their radon test results, they could not reopen. Radon levels varied in the building, however, they were as high as 19 pCi/L in some areas of the library. As there were public-facing areas above the EPA's radon action level of 4 pCi/L, the city and the library's staff kept the library closed. They needed a long-lasting solution as quickly as possible.

We were able to help them with the library. We were able to install a radon mitigation system in the building. Due to the time-sensitive nature of their issue, we were able to make some adjustments in order to get them in as soon as possible. We started the installation by finding the best place for the system to go. Once that was identified, we were able to begin building the system. We drilled holes in the concrete slab of the basement as well as in the wall where the exterior penetration would be. We then began building the pipes, securing them in the basement. We drilled a small hole in the pipe and added the manometer. (The manometer measures the pressure of the radon in the system. It is a visual indicator of if the system is functioning as intended.) We then went outside of the library in order to complete the mitigation system. We built out the pipe and installed the fan on the outside of the library. We then were able to go back inside, sealing all of the holes for the system as well as all of the cracks and gaps in the basement. Now, the library has an efficient mitigation system so that they can reopen to the public! 

This homeowner in Worcester, MA reached out to us after a radon test found that his home's radon level was 6.9 pCi/L. He was interested in installing a mitigation system. Our radon specialist came out to the home to identify what was going on in his home. He found that the homeowner had a non-functioning radon system already installed. It needed a new fan.
