Before:
Radon Gas is a naturally occurring, invisible, odourless, radioactive gas in soil and rocks as uranium decays overtime. When it decomposes it will travel through the dirt and seek any openings in the lower levels of the home. Its radioactive particles damage lung cells when inhaled over long term exposure and can cause lung cancer.
After:
Advanced Basement Systems is a certified Radon Gas Mitigation expert and will design a system to reduce radon entering your home.
If you are concerned about your long term exposed to Radon Gas, call Advanced Basement Systems to find out more.
Radon is a radioactive, colourless, odorless and tasteless noble gas, occurring naturally as the decay product of uranium in the soil. When it decays it will travel through the dirt and seek any openings in the lower levels of homes. There can be many openings in the basement of homes including floor and wall cracks, open sump pits, damaged floor drains or brittle mortar between blocks.
Repairing the openings is just one step to mitigate radon gas that is entering the basement. Once the area is sealed properly, Radon Gas venting should be added to protect the occupants. Advanced Basement Systems was called to do a complete mitigation system in this home. Fixing all the cracks then adding the vent system will reduce the Radon Gas Levels making the home safe to live in.
If you are worried about living with Radon Gas, call Advanced Basement Systems to protect yourself and your family.
The home owner had the basement finished and was using the space. Moisture was evident along the floor and lower walls of the finished materials. Advanced Basement Systems install the Water Guard system and new sump pump systems to dry out the basement and provide on going protection.
The open sump pit will add humidity to existing homes as water evaporates. Advanced Basement Systems will upgrade exiting older home with a closed liner pit to eliminate the evaporation issues in a basement.
This Chatham basement needed a good sump upgrade! We disposed of the slow and noisy pedestal pump and replaced it with a submersible cast-iron pump. We also installed our UltraSump4 Back-Up System, which includes a special battery designed for back-up pumps. Once installed, Joel installed a two-piece lid over the liner, with a built in window.
The wire and pipe penetrations have rubber gromets around them, to keep it airtight!
A nice, reliable and quiet system!
