After receiving a radon test result above 5.0, a homeowner in Wells, Maine, reached out to Maine Radon and Water Treatment for a reliable mitigation solution. They chose MR for their experience and thoughtful guidance, especially when it came to choosing the best route for system placement in a tight setup. With the cable box moved and careful consideration of the sewer line and ductwork, the team installed a radon fan system using crushed stone for soil contact and sealed the sump pit with silicone. The fan was mounted a bit higher to make the most of limited space, and the system was completed with a clear manometer reading of 0.8. If you’ve had high radon levels in your home and aren’t sure how to navigate a tricky install, trust Maine Radon and Water Treatment to find the right path forward.

Kim M. in Wells, Maine wanted to address elevated radon levels with a mitigation system that would be both effective and consistent with the appearance of neighboring homes. Fortunately, the layout of the basement made this a very straightforward project with a clear path for installation.
The system was installed in the rear left corner of the basement, allowing the piping to exit the home in the same location and style as many of the surrounding homes on the street. This approach created a clean, professional appearance while providing strong sub-slab suction and long-term performance.
The installation included additional piping to properly route the system and ensure optimal airflow beneath the foundation. With a simple layout and favorable installation conditions, the project was completed efficiently while maintaining the quality workmanship our customers expect.
Now Kim's home has a professionally installed radon mitigation system designed to help reduce radon levels and provide long-term peace of mind.
Sometimes the best projects are the simplest ones—clean design, efficient installation, and a safer home for years to come.
Bruce B. in Wells, Maine wanted a radon mitigation system that would not only perform well but also maintain the appearance of the home. Having seen similar installations in the neighborhood, the goal was to follow a proven design while incorporating additional upgrades for a cleaner exterior look.
The system was installed using a layout similar to other successful systems in the area, but this project included an Exterior Aesthetic Package, which required more precise routing and tighter installation conditions to keep the finished product looking clean and professional. Additional piping was used to properly position the fan and venting system, while strategic crack sealing was completed to help improve system performance and reduce radon entry through foundation openings.
The installation also included a radon system muffler to help minimize operating noise and provide a quieter homeowner experience.
By combining effective mitigation techniques with thoughtful aesthetics, Bruce received a system designed to protect the home while blending in as seamlessly as possible.
From elevated radon concerns to a professionally installed system with curb appeal in mind, another Wells homeowner can enjoy cleaner air and greater peace of mind.
