Before & After Photos

When a homeowner in Gorham, Maine, reached out to us with concerns about radon levels in their home, we recognized the urgency of ensuring their safety. The initial radon test revealed a concerning level of 8 pCi/L, prompting the need for immediate mitigation. They chose our company due to our reputation for precise and reliable installations. We efficiently installed the radon mitigation system, running the pipe through the attic and carefully sealing around the condensate line for the water heater. The results were significant, with the radon level dropping to a safe 1.2 pCi/L after installation.

After two charcoal tests showed radon levels of 10 and then 20, a Gorham, Maine homeowner turned to Maine Radon and Water Treatment for a reliable solution. The team installed a custom sub-slab depressurization system using the existing stub-out, carefully routing around water lines and placing the RN2 fan with a 10-foot extension. Upgrades included a critter guard, system muffler, audible alarm, and a fan guard moisture kit to protect and extend the life of the system. With the Gold Maintenance Plan in place, the homeowner now has lasting protection and ongoing monitoring. If you're looking to reduce radon levels and protect your home with a system built to last, MR is ready to help.

Before:
This home in Gorham, Maine had an existing radon mitigation system that was no longer ideally located. The original setup needed to be removed and reconfigured to improve placement, safety, and appearance. The attic still had remnants of the old system, and one of the drainers was broken, requiring replacement.

After:
We successfully relocated the radon system using the existing stub-out, which allowed for an efficient and clean redesign. The new piping was routed to exit on the left-side gable end, installed near the hose bib and positioned approximately 10 feet from the propane tanks for proper clearance. The broken drainer was replaced, the old system components were fully removed, and the previous attic penetration was properly capped.

The finished installation blended well with the home’s exterior while improving functionality and compliance. Another system upgraded, another home protected, and another clean result in Gorham.

Before:
Brent’s home tested at 8.4 pCi/L, well above the EPA recommended action level. Referred to us by his daughter, he knew it was time to address the issue—but like many homeowners, he needed a solution that would work within the layout of his basement.

The system needed to be installed near the bilco doors, running from an existing stub and routed to the right of the doors near the electrical panel—a tighter space where proper planning makes all the difference.

During:
We installed a sub-slab depressurization system, adding a 50-foot extension to properly route the radon line while maintaining a clean and efficient setup. Every detail—from pipe placement to fan positioning—was done with performance and long-term reliability in mind.

After:
Brent’s radon levels are now within acceptable limits, giving him and his family confidence that the air in their home is safe.

From 8.4 pCi/L to safe levels—done right the first time.
Another Maine home protected. Another family breathing easier.

Matt F. in Gorham, Maine had basement radon levels test at 8.8 pCi/L, above the EPA recommended action level. With two sump pits in the basement, the project required a more customized approach to ensure the system would perform properly and the basement would remain protected long term.

One sump pit was located under the stairs near the oil tank, while the second was beneath the slop sink. The mitigation system was installed near the slop sink, closer to the basement door, using the nearby electrical source for a clean and efficient setup. Because Matt was in the process of installing new sump pumps, we coordinated the timing so the sump sealing work could be completed once those upgrades were finished.

After returning to seal the sump openings, we also inspected the fan after Matt noticed the manometer reading at zero while the fan was still running. Everything was checked over and confirmed to be operating properly.

Now the home has a professionally installed radon mitigation system, sealed sump areas, and the confidence that the basement air is being properly protected.

If your home has elevated radon levels or multiple sump pits that make the job more complex, Maine Radon & Water can design the right solution for your space.
