Radon Information Before & After Photos

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 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.

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.

Before: A 2022 home in Oxford, CT, revealed radon levels of 16 pCi/L, significantly above safe limits, with many cracks found in the basement floor, undermining the efficiency of the existing passive radon system.

After: Post-enhancement, the home features a fully integrated active radon mitigation system. All basement cracks were meticulously sealed, and with the upgraded system operational, radon levels dramatically decreased to below 2.0 pCi/L, establishing a safer and more secure environment.

Before: The home, built in 1950 in Woodbury, CT, recorded radon levels of 8.7 pCi/L, posing significant health risks, and lacked effective humidity control.

After: The installation of a radon mitigation system featuring a Sedona dehumidifier dramatically improved the home’s air quality. Radon levels were reduced to below the EPA’s safety threshold, and the dehumidifier effectively manages the humidity levels, creating a healthier living environment.
