Radon Mitigation for Ranch Home with High Levels and No Drain Tile

This ranch-style home had radon levels of 22.0 pCi/L, well above the EPA action level. While the basement had a sump pit, it lacked drain tile, and the layout included two main chambers separated by a stem wall with footings. To ensure proper radon reduction, a 3-point extraction system was designed:

• Point one near the plumbing stack
• Point two approximately 12 feet away in the basement corner
• Point three on the opposite side of the stem wall

The mitigation system will exit through the rim joist on the north side of the home. The homeowner expressed interest in the Breathe EZ air purification and duct cleaning, but will wait due to budget. Despite structural limitations, this setup delivers a strong foundation for radon abatement, protecting the home's air quality and ensuring a safer living space.

The Meaning of Radon Mitigation for a Simple Family

This client of ours shared his heroic story on how he brought up the radon mitigation system as a health investment to his family. They were hesitant at first due to the costs and the meticulous process their home needs to go through. A neighbor convinced them to get a simple radon test first and shocked to see that they had high levels! They did ask the team what's the best option for a tight budget and didn't realize we offered a payment plan or financing. They were really happy about and gone through the booking. The team did see they also needed a crawlspace encapsulation to prevent moisture and bugs. It was a simple installation since they already have a dedicated spot for the radon fan.
