Radon Information Before & After Photos

Before: Nestled in the heart of Fairfield, CT, a home built in 1950 faced a silent but significant challenge. Radon levels, both in the basement and on the slab, alarmingly peaked at 11, far above the EPA's recommended safety level. The residence, with its traditional charm, hid beneath it a health risk that went unnoticed day by day. The setup included two rudimentary pipes, one in the foundation and one in the slab, inadequately equipped to handle the severity of radon infiltration. The sump pump sat exposed, a testament to the home's aging infrastructure, with no measures in place to control moisture, a critical factor in radon accumulation.

 

After: The transformation of the Fairfield home is a narrative of technological advancement and safety prioritization. At the heart of the mitigation strategy was the installation of the Eagle Extreme fan, a model chosen for its robust performance and reliability. This system, now fully operational, has dramatically reduced radon levels to a safe 2.5, turning the home from a hazard to a haven. The dual-pipe system, meticulously designed, directs radon from beneath the home and safely out the left side, preventing any re-entry into living spaces. In addressing the challenge of moisture, a strategic decision was made to install a moisture guard. This critical component works seamlessly with the radon mitigation system to ensure a dry and efficient operation, safeguarding the foundation and interior from the risks of dampness. Furthermore, the decision to leave the sump pump uncovered, yet protected, maintained the home's integrity while ensuring easy access for maintenance and inspections. To underscore the commitment to health and safety, the installation was concluded with the provision of a system warranty. This warranty serves as a pledge of quality and effectiveness, offering the homeowners peace of mind and confidence in their newly secured environment.

 

The Result: Today, the Fairfield home stands as a model of indoor air quality transformation. Through targeted interventions and the integration of advanced mitigation technologies, the house has been reborn as a safe, healthy living space. The once-concerning radon levels are now a thing of the past, allowing the residents to breathe easy and enjoy their home with renewed comfort and assurance.

Before: The home in Bristol, CT, exhibited radon levels that exceeded safe limits, posing a health risk to its inhabitants. After: Post-installation, the home now features a fully operational radon mitigation system that has successfully reduced radon levels to well within the EPA�s recommended safety guidelines. The new system ensures continuous control of radon, significantly enhancing the safety and air quality of the home.

Discover the transformation in a 1966 Stamford home, where we installed a two-pipe radon mitigation system in a semi-finished basement with a high radon level of 11.6. The before and after images illustrate the significant reduction in radon levels achieved despite the absence of a moisture guard and major structural modifications. The project also involved careful coordination with the homeowner regarding pet safety and potential adjustments.

Explore the before and after transformation of our radon mitigation work in a Wilton home. With radon levels initially at 7.3, our solution involved installing a mitigation system in the basement, sealing the sump pump, and meticulously sealing all floor cracks to prevent radon entry. The after images illustrate the system's discreet integration under the staircase and the reinstatement of cut drywall, showcasing our commitment to both safety and homeowner comfort.

Before: The Newtown estate faced significant radon exposure of 9 pCi/L, complicated by unsealed sump pumps and furniture obstructing potential mitigation areas. After: Post-installation, radon levels were effectively reduced to below the EPA�s recommended action level. The mitigation system, complete with dual sump pump covers and a moisture guard, now provides a safer, healthier living environment. All obstructions were cleared with cooperation from the family, ensuring a smooth installation process.
