Radon Information Photo Album: Breathing Easy in Fairfield: Elevating Air Quality with Eagle Extreme Fan Installation
In the picturesque town of Fairfield, CT, a 1950s home presented a challenge that could no longer be overlooked. With radon levels reaching an alarming 11 both in the basement and on the slab, the need for an effective mitigation strategy was evident. Our team took on the project with precision and a commitment to not only lower these levels but also to ensure the safety and peace of mind for the home's residents.
Process Details:
The cornerstone of our approach was the installation of the Eagle Extreme fan, a choice driven by its exceptional performance in reducing radon levels. This system was integrated with two meticulously positioned pipes—one embedded in the foundation and the other within the slab. These pipes, working in harmony, channel radon from beneath the house and expel it through the left side, preventing it from entering the living spaces.
A crucial aspect of our strategy was the decision to keep the sump pump uncovered. This choice was made to maintain the pump's accessibility and functionality, considering the home's existing water management needs. However, to complement the radon mitigation efforts and address the potential for moisture-related issues, a moisture guard was installed. This addition ensures that the mitigation system operates optimally, by preventing excess humidity from compromising the system's efficiency.
Added Assurance:
Understanding the importance of long-term reliability, the installation was completed with the addition of a warranty for the system. This warranty represents our commitment to quality and the homeowner's assurance of a sustained reduction in radon levels.
Conclusion:
With the gauge now reading a significantly reduced 2.5, the installation marks a substantial improvement in the home's indoor air quality. The combination of the Eagle Extreme fan, strategic piping, moisture guard, and the warranty encapsulates our holistic approach to radon mitigation. This Fairfield home now stands as a testament to the effectiveness of modern mitigation techniques, ensuring a safer environment for its inhabitants.
