Protecting Family Health: Radon Mitigation for a Multi-Generational Home

When Kathy built her home in 1993, radon wasn’t on her radar. But after her husband’s passing in 2017 and with her son now living in the basement, she wanted to be sure her home’s air was safe. A mid-June charcoal test showed radon levels at 6.5 pCi/L; above the EPA action level of 4.0, which meant it was time to take action.

Our team designed a single-point sub-slab depressurization system, using the existing sump basin in the southwest corner of the basement as the extraction point. We sealed the sump with a new airtight lid and planned the exhaust routing to exit either out the back or west side of the home, minimizing both visual impact and piping length. A 16x20 BEZ air cleaner was also installed in the HVAC system to help improve overall indoor air quality. With this tailored radon mitigation setup, Kathy’s home now has a long-term solution to reduce radon levels, protect her family’s health, and ensure safe air for years to come.

Discreet 3-Point Radon Mitigation System for Finished Basement with Cellar Room

In this nearly finished basement, high radon levels prompted a 3-point radon mitigation system to ensure complete coverage and peace of mind. Two extraction points will be placed in the utility room, which wraps around in a small U-shape and showed elevated readings. The third point will be installed in a cellar room tucked behind a wooden door, boxes were cleared to access the space during the assessment. Per homeowner request, the system will exit to the left of the exterior window, and a fan housing cover is expected to be included for a cleaner appearance. With strategic placement and thoughtful routing, this project blends effective radon removal with minimal disruption to the finished living space.

Radon Mitigation System Upgrade: Dual Extraction + ERV Installation on Family Farm

This family chose our EcoBlue system and is also testing other homes on their farm; potentially expanding to additional properties and rentals. For their main home, we’re installing a comprehensive two-point radon mitigation system along with an ERV (Energy Recovery Ventilator) to address both radon and carbon monoxide concerns from the furnace. Extraction points will be located in the pool room and TV room, while the ERV will be placed in the laundry room, designed to pull air from one side of the house and push fresh air toward the bedrooms. Routing details are to be confirmed with the homeowners to ensure optimal system efficiency and coverage.

3-Point System Installation and Sump Replacement

With radon levels testing over 30 pCi/L, this home required a three-point mitigation system to ensure proper pressure balance and effective radon reduction. Installation is scheduled with extraction points set near the airconditioning AC unit on the side of the home. During the project, our team will also replace the sump basin and install a new discharge line to improve drainage performance and system efficiency. These combined upgrades will help deliver long-term protection and healthier indoor air quality.

Radon Mitigation & Air Quality Boost for a Country Home

With radon levels averaging 12 pCi/L, these homeowners scheduled a two-point extraction system install on August 13th. The system will run from the utility room out the back of the home, with coring through concrete if needed. They also chose to improve indoor air quality with an Aspen air purifier in the kitchen, a Sedona dehumidifier tied into the utility room drain, and a BreatheEZ Air Cleaner; planned to integrate after their HVAC upgrade this fall. This project delivers lasting radon reduction and a healthier, more comfortable home.
