The home had radon readings between 6.7 and 7.1 pCi/L, including when a window was open. Because the homeowner uses the basement as an office, addressing radon in the lower level was a priority.
A three-point radon mitigation system was installed, with two extraction points in the unfinished basement and one in the crawl space. The RP265 fan draws soil gas into the system, which vents it outdoors through piping routed alongside the chimney. A follow-up radon test is recommended to confirm the system's effectiveness.
The existing radon fan is making noise and requires replacement.
The existing fan will be replaced with a new radon fan to restore reliable operation of the mitigation system
The home had an existing radon mitigation system that had not been serviced in several years. The fan was not running, and the manometer showed no active pressure.
The system was evaluated, and it was determined that the fan is not operating. Service or replacement will be needed to restore proper radon mitigation performance.
The initial radon test measured 4.5 pCi/L, above the EPA’s recommended action level. The home had no existing active radon mitigation system. The unfinished basement had cracks along the middle of the floor, including areas covered by a rug, that needed attention as part of the mitigation work.
We installed a one-point radon mitigation system using a Festa Hawk fan. The extraction point was positioned near the water tank, and the piping was routed out through the left side of the home. We also sealed cracks along the middle of the basement floor, including those beneath the rug, to help reduce potential radon entry points. Follow-up testing is recommended to confirm the system’s effectiveness.
The home has elevated radon levels and does not currently have an active mitigation system.
A one-point radon mitigation system will be installed, with piping routed from the basement and exiting on the right side of the home near the chimney.
