Radon Gas Mitigation Before & After Photos

An Olivia, MN, homeowner had recently learned about the dangers of radon gas on a household. She decided to head to her local home improvement store to purchase and conduct at-home radon level tests. When both of her tests came back with alarmingly high levels, she knew she had to contact a radon specialist. She quickly found our website and signed up for her FREE estimate. Several weeks later, our Design Specialist, Tony B, headed out to the home. 

Tony began his inspection by scouting out the best place to put a radon mitigation system. When he finished, he met with the homeowner to deliver his recommendation. Tony started by explaining that radon gas is colorless, odorless, and tasteless, making it completely undetectable without proper testing. He went on to say that radon gas comes from the breakdown of soil surrounding the foundation of a home. It finds its way into your space through tiny holes and cracks in the foundation of your home, silently wreaking havoc on the lungs. Tony finished by saying that radon gas is the second leading cause of lung cancer, right behind cigarette smoking. Then, Tony told the homeowner that, due to the high levels in the home, he would strongly urge her to consider installing a radon mitigation system. Tony explained that a typical radon mitigation system consists of a large-diameter plastic pipe that connects the air beneath your foundation to the outdoors. An in-line fan sucks radon-rich air from beneath your foundation and expels this hazardous air to the exterior. Instead of entering your basement or other living space area through numerous gaps and cracks in the foundation, radon gas is extracted from beneath your foundation before it can permeate into interior space. When installed by an experienced professional, a radon mitigation system will lower the concentration of radon gas in the interior of the home to the minimal levels recommended by the EPA and other health and safety agencies. The homeowner was thrilled to know there was a solution to her issue and scheduled the job on the spot. 

Our Foreman, Geno M, was able to lead our crew through a swift and flawless installation. Now, our customer can breathe easy knowing that the air circulating in her home was free of high levels of radon! 

Randy N., a resident of Willmar, MN, got his radon levels tested and the result came out to be 6.8 pCi/L. Our Design Specialist, Kevin, set him up with an installation date and walked him through a plan of our Radon Mitigation System. These systems are made to pull radon from within the home and release it outside through pipes. 

Our crew of Dakota and Geno began the installation by drilling a hole into the basement concrete floor, creating a suction point. From there, our crew installed a PVC pipe from the whole, which created a vent for the radon gas. They connected the pipe to the radon fan outside of the home (which is the Mitigation System itself). The fan is the heart of the system. If it fails, the radon will remain in the home. From the fan, our team connected more PVC piping along the siding of the home until it reached open air above the roof. To complete the installation, Geno and Dakota performed a final walkthrough with Randy and ensured all of his questions were answered.
