Breathing Easy: A Seamless Radon Mitigation Upgrade in a Classic Colonial Home in New Canaan, CT
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.
