Client moved into their new home, prior testing found the radon reading to be higher than 6 pCi/L. Apex recommended to seal the cracks and to install a radon reduction system. After the radon mitigation system was installed and the radon levels were retested, the reading was less than 2.0 pCi/L.
Radon comes from the soil and enters through cracks in your home. Your home pulls the air from under the foundation into your home. If the radon levels are high and the radon is trapped in your home it is not safe or healthy for your family. By sealing the cracks we are deterring the radon from entering the home and allowing the radon system to work properly.
Client was selling her family's home, the radon was more than 12 pCi/L. The radon mitigation system connected 5 pipes through the crawl space and basement to the fan and piping outside. Post mitigation results were 0.6 pCi/L, another successful installation.
Before: The 1956 ranch-style home in Stamford, CT, exhibited a concerning average radon level of 5.2 across three tests, with a mostly finished basement but no sump pumps installed.
After: A radon mitigation system was installed near the AC unit with an exterior cover, effectively reducing radon levels within the home, while the homeowner completed the transaction by leaving a check for pickup.
Upon acquiring a charming home in the serene community of Cheshire, CT, the new homeowners encountered a radon level of 7 pCi/L�above the EPA's recommended action level. The existing radon mitigation system needed reassessment to ensure safety and efficacy. Prior to intervention, the basement held a waterproofing mat, which unfortunately had to be removed due to flooding issues, potentially compromising the radon system's performance. Our intervention included a meticulous inspection and upgrade of the current radon mitigation setup. To address the elevated radon levels and prevent future water intrusion, we implemented a robust solution that ensured both radon reduction and moisture control. The customized approach was geared to seamlessly integrate with the home's existing safety systems, maintaining aesthetic integrity while enhancing the residence's safety standards. With these adjustments, the homeowners can now enjoy peace of mind in their new abode, safeguarded from the invisible risks of radon.
