Vintage Charm Meets Modern Health: Radon Mitigation for a 1940 Sears Cape in Canton, CT

Before: In the quaint town of Canton, CT, sits a vintage 1940 Sears Cape Cod house, a relic of Americana with its unfinished interior and rustic charm. Its historical integrity is evident in every nook and cranny, including the essential but aged sump pump and the spiderweb of cracks that have formed over the years. The house, while standing strong, harbored a silent threat to its inhabitants, a radon level requiring immediate attention to ensure the safety and wellbeing of those it shelters.

After: The transformation of the Sears Cape home is both subtle and significant. The once vulnerable crawl space has been meticulously sealed, closing the chapters of the past where radon could seep unchecked into the home. The sump pump, now part of a comprehensive CT dry basement system, works quietly but effectively, paired with a newly installed water guard. This dual system serves as a steadfast guardian against moisture and radon, ensuring the home remains dry and the air quality pure. Cracks that once told stories of the passage of time have been carefully treated, no longer posing a risk to the home's air quality. Today, the Sears Cape stands not only as a reminder of a bygone era but as a beacon of health and safety, blending the best of its original charm with the indispensable benefits of modern living. It's a home where history is cherished and the future is bright and breathable.
