This homeowner took a big step toward cleaner air with a 2-point radon mitigation system, Breathe EZ air cleaner, and a sump pump replacement, all tailored to the unique layout of their home. One extraction point will be discreetly hidden in a closet, while the second will be placed in the crawlspace under the 3/4 seasons room, where a mix of slab and insulation made things tricky. An existing drywall-covered hole will be repurposed for coring to avoid extra disruption. The sump presented its own challenges due to a sump jet system. A lowered basin and domed lid were included to improve function and allow for proper sealing. The homeowner also requested a walkthrough of the Breathe EZ system to learn filter replacement. A full-service solution combining radon reduction, air purification, and water control; this home is now set up for long-term health and peace of mind.
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.
This 1880s Victorian home had a single-point system installed in 2017, but even with multiple fan replacements, levels stayed around 6 pCi/L. No improvements with the indoor air quality. With three chambers, interior waterproofing tile, and an inaccessible crawlspace, the system simply couldn’t keep up. Our solution is a second sub slab extraction point on the NE corner, independent from the tile system, plus needed crack sealing and a clean exit route out the back to protect the home’s aesthetics. A 16x25 BEZ will also boost indoor air quality. This upgrade gives the best chance at lowering radon levels safely.
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.
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.
