A recent project in Freeport, ME brought Maine Radon and Water Treatment to a home where radon levels tested right at the EPA’s action level. Wanting to stay ahead of the issue, the homeowner chose MR for their trusted expertise and reliable solutions. The install was straightforward, with full access allowing for efficient setup of the RP145 fan and system components. An electrical outlet was added to power the system, and an audible alarm was installed to alert if the system stops functioning. To protect the fan long-term, a fan guard moisture kit was added, enhancing the warranty and reducing potential service needs. With the option of ongoing support through our Gold or Silver Maintenance Plans, the home is now better protected against radon. If you're ready to take proactive steps like this homeowner, reach out to Maine Radon and Water Treatment for a custom mitigation solution.
Before:
This Freeport, Maine home had a recent radon air test come back at 4.0 pCi/L. The basement already had a sump and ongoing water issues, and the homeowner was concerned that adding a radon mitigation system could worsen those problems. The layout near the electrical service for the hot tub did not allow enough space to run piping upward, which required a thoughtful and customized approach.
After:
We designed and installed a radon mitigation system that worked with the home’s existing conditions. The piping was routed in the same corner and exited to the right toward the outdoor stairs, avoiding the electrical service area. The fan was mounted on the gable wall next to the service, staying on the same plane for a clean exterior appearance.
A custom sump lid was installed in the opposing corner to properly seal the sump without interfering with existing water management. Power for the system was safely run from the laundry room, using the same access point created for the washing machine line, which kept the electrical run clean and discreet. All details were confirmed in advance with Jordan, and the installation was completed exactly as planned.
The finished system effectively addressed the radon concerns without creating additional water issues, leaving the homeowner with a safer, more secure basement and peace of mind.
Before:
As part of a new Habitat for Humanity build, the home was in the construction phase and ready for a radon system to be planned correctly from the start. Coordinating early with the new build crew allowed us to determine the best path to route the system cleanly through the attic before final finishes were in place.
After:
We installed the radon system through the attic with the build team, ensuring it was properly positioned, efficient, and ready to protect the home long-term. The coordination made for a clean, seamless installation that fit perfectly into the new construction process.
We complete multiple radon systems for Habitat for Humanity each year, and this project was just one of many. We’re proud to work alongside an organization that’s committed to building safe, healthy homes for families in our community. We truly love working with them and their teams.
Maine Radon & Water Treatment stepped in to assist a new homeowner in Sabattus, Maine, dealing with elevated radon levels in both air and water.
