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.
The exterior of the home had no radon mitigation system in place, with no visible piping along the outside of the house.
A radon mitigation pipe was installed along the exterior of the home, routed from the basement/garage area and vented above the roofline for proper airflow.
The basement/garage area had no radon mitigation system in place. The space included a fieldstone foundation and slab with no existing suction point.
A radon mitigation pipe was installed in the front right corner of the basement/garage, positioned to stay as discreet as possible while creating an effective suction point.

The home had elevated radon levels and did not yet have an active mitigation system. The unfinished basement included a concrete crawl space and a sump with a submersible pump.
A one-point radon mitigation system was installed with an RP265 fan and an extraction point in the gravel beneath the foundation. The exterior vent piping was routed along the right rear side of the home. The sump area was part of the existing basement layout; the completion notes did not indicate any additional changes to the sump.
