Originally anticipated this home as a quick radon project, but discovered two sizable, well-maintained crawl spaces during the walkthrough. Really rare but amazing home! Homeowner was committed to clearing these spaces for better work conditions. The project involves extracting through the sump in the basement, connected to the son's bedroom and a utility room. The route goes from downstairs through the rim joists in the garage and out through the roof. A T connection will link the encapsulation points, ensuring a straightforward installation.
This is a two point system due to elevated radon levels. One point in the unfinished room and the second on the other side of the dividing wall in the closet. Home owners were to move a couple totes and Santas where the extraction point can be straight down. These are the only unfinished areas in the basement with limited outside options. The complicated part is where to put the fan outside. Homeowner has three pieces of the deck outside that can be lifted up for access. Only other option is coring out through the deck right next to wood which homeowner said would be okay. The project specialist suggested that it would be to the left side of the window on the deck. The client agreed as there wasn't much a better choice. It turned out great!
The property, initially a flip, is undergoing extensive renovations. During the inspection, the team uncovered three visible chambers and a sunroom with a complex foundation. There's uncertainty about what lies beneath, and anticipated coring horizontally into the sunroom. The homeowner, a first-time flipper, displayed eagerness to actively participate in the installation process. Despite some indecision about the PVC routing in the basement, he plans to be present during the install. Considering duct cleaning for both properties, he decided to prioritize his residence once the current project expenses ease for health purposes. Despite the challenges, the homeowner's cooperative and forward-thinking approach made the process smooth. He's a good one!
This was a single point system that will go around the over hand. Homeowner has a metal roof and has been passed down from generation to generation as part of the farm. Their levels are under 4 but borderline, explained to them that it still not a safe level and they are doing this partial for their kids and part for preventative measures for the next generation who lives there. This home is at grade for where we need to exit. There is an older egress window that we can look to exit from. Homeowner also is looking for an Aspen upstairs to clean the air as they have a young kiddo and need a Sedona and stand as there is standing water and condensation in the laundry room. He is very protective with his family's health which we definitely agree on his measures! Amazing!
The client is a physical therapist and likes the outdoors. He has an unfinished basement with two different crawlspaces. He has access to one through a window in the basement and the other has an opening into the second crawlspace. They're about 3 feet in height and the walls have spray foam insulation on them. It was not much of a challenge but there was some work done for the first extraction point to begin with. The client was really kind in helping clear out the debris in the crawlspaces after installation. He was really happy with how the system turned out.
