Apex Radon Solutions Before & After Photos

Breathing easy in Avon, CT! We've just installed a radon mitigation system with dual extraction points, tackling the crawl space to ensure a safe level 3 reading throughout this charming ranch-style home. Here's to healthier living spaces! #RadonFreeHome #HealthyHome #AvonCT

Before: The 1956 ranch-style home in Stamford, CT, exhibited a concerning average radon level of 5.2 across three tests, with a mostly finished basement but no sump pumps installed.

After: A radon mitigation system was installed near the AC unit with an exterior cover, effectively reducing radon levels within the home, while the homeowner completed the transaction by leaving a check for pickup.

Upon acquiring a charming home in the serene community of Cheshire, CT, the new homeowners encountered a radon level of 7 pCi/L�above the EPA's recommended action level. The existing radon mitigation system needed reassessment to ensure safety and efficacy. Prior to intervention, the basement held a waterproofing mat, which unfortunately had to be removed due to flooding issues, potentially compromising the radon system's performance. Our intervention included a meticulous inspection and upgrade of the current radon mitigation setup. To address the elevated radon levels and prevent future water intrusion, we implemented a robust solution that ensured both radon reduction and moisture control. The customized approach was geared to seamlessly integrate with the home's existing safety systems, maintaining aesthetic integrity while enhancing the residence's safety standards. With these adjustments, the homeowners can now enjoy peace of mind in their new abode, safeguarded from the invisible risks of radon.

Before:

In a quaint 1994 colonial-style home, nestled within its 1900 square feet basement, an invisible intruder was lurking at a radon level of 4.5. This space, divided between finished and unfinished areas, served dual purposes — one for utility and storage, and the other for fitness routines. Despite the cozy domesticity, the radon readings indicated a potential risk to the inhabitants. Two pipes, integral to the radon mitigation system, ran through the basement. One was situated in the unfinished section, and the other close to the sweat and steel of the workout area. The question of seamlessly integrating the system within the home's structure posed a challenge, with a preference for concealing the pipes in the open rafters above the drop ceiling. The aim was to direct these pipes to the exterior, specifically in a discreet corner by the air conditioning units. Adding to the complexity was the necessity of a moisture guard to combat any potential dampness that could compromise the system’s integrity.

After:

The transformation of the colonial home's radon mitigation system marks a significant improvement in the dwelling's safety and aesthetic. The once visible radon pipes have now been ingeniously rerouted to blend with the home's interior — tucked away in the open rafters, invisible to the eye yet functional. The two-pipe system now operates inconspicuously: one pipe emerges from the unfinished basement, traversing the space without detracting from its utility, while the other pipe near the workout area no longer intrudes upon the homeowner's fitness sanctuary. Both pipes discreetly exit the home, ensuring the radon levels are effectively mitigated without compromising the colonial charm. An essential addition to this upgraded system is the moisture guard, diligently installed to shield the home from the perils of humidity. Residents can now breathe easier, enjoying both their workouts and their storage space, assured in the knowledge that their radon levels are under control, and the aesthetic integrity of their basement is preserved.

Before: A charming Cape built in 1946 in Thomaston, CT, tested at 4.1 pCi/L for radon, above the EPA�s action threshold, posing health risks to the occupants. After: Post-installation of a tailored radon mitigation system, including effective sealing and a new ventilation setup, radon levels were successfully reduced to below 2.0 pCi/L. The home now adheres to safe living standards, providing a healthier environment for its residents.
