The home had elevated radon levels with no mitigation system in place and limited airflow beneath the slab.
A premium radon mitigation system with two extraction points was installed, with piping routed to an exterior fan and vented above the roofline for effective radon reduction.
The existing radon fan was approximately 29 years old and making noticeable noise. The exterior photos show the existing fan and piping, including the connection that needed attention.
The old fan was replaced, the extraction piping was cleaned, and the clamp above the fan was re-secured to support a stable connection.
The existing radon mitigation fan had gone approximately ten years without service. It was humming but was switched off, leaving the system in need of attention.
The radon fan was replaced to restore system operation and support continued radon reduction. Periodic system checks and radon testing are recommended to confirm that the system continues to perform effectively.
Built in 1920, this home tested at 17.0 pCi/L, significantly above the EPA’s recommended action level of 4.0 pCi/L. The property has two foundation areas: a small basement and a crawl space, with dirt and rock beneath the home. The mitigation design needed to account for both foundation areas when establishing the extraction points.
A three-point radon mitigation system was installed using an Eagle Extreme fan. The extraction points and piping were configured to address the home’s foundation layout, with the exterior pipe routed along the right side toward the back of the house. The installation was completed without unusual conditions or changes to the original plan. Follow-up testing can help confirm the system’s effectiveness.
This Easton home had radon readings ranging from 2.8 to 6.0 pCi/L, with some measurements exceeding the EPA’s recommended action level of 4.0 pCi/L. The foundation has gravel beneath the slab, and the home’s tall roof required careful planning for the exterior vent route. The homeowner also identified additional requests involving a manometer alarm, ductwork sealing, and a custom wire-mesh critter guard.
A two-point radon mitigation system was installed using a Festa Hawk fan. The exterior piping runs alongside the HVAC units and continues up and over the tall roof to vent soil gases outdoors. The installation was completed without changes or unusual conditions. Follow-up radon testing is recommended to evaluate the system’s performance.
