The home tested at 8.6 pCi/L, and a radon mitigation system was needed to help reduce indoor radon levels. The basement ceiling was covered with a vapor barrier, and the installation required careful routing near the electrical panel, junction box, and exterior gas meter.
A one-point radon mitigation system was installed using the gravel beneath the foundation. The piping exits through the left side of the home, with the exterior route planned to maintain clearance from the gas meter. A Festa Hawk fan provides the suction needed to draw radon from beneath the foundation and vent it outdoors. CRM monitoring may be added as a follow-up.
The existing radon fan was in place and connected to the exterior mitigation piping prior to replacement.
The existing fan was replaced with a new RP 145 radon fan and connected to the existing system. The electrician will be completing the outdoor electrical connection for the fan.
The existing radon mitigation system was due for service, with the Festa Hawk fan requiring evaluation for continued reliable operation.
The radon system was serviced, with no changes or follow-up work required. The completion notes confirm there were no unusual conditions during the service.
The unfinished basement currently has an elevated radon level of 5.3 pCi/L and does not have an active radon mitigation system. Existing cracks in the basement floor will be sealed as part of the planned work.
A one-point radon mitigation system will be installed to draw radon from beneath the foundation and vent it safely outside. All identified cracks in the basement floor will also be sealed to help reduce potential entry points.
The home currently has an elevated radon level of 10.8 pCi/L and no active radon mitigation system. The unfinished basement provides access for installing the two extraction points.
A two-point radon mitigation system will be installed in the unfinished portion of the basement. One pipe will exit through the left side of the home, with the second extraction point located near the finished-space doorway by the shelves. A tall ladder will be needed to complete the exterior piping.
