In 1977, a split-level home in Stamford, CT, was confronted with a radon level of 7.4. Our project involved designing a dual-pipe radon mitigation system tailored to the unique structure of the home—with one pipe installed in the slab and another in the unfinished basement. The external pipes were strategically placed around a corner near the fireplace and extended up to the highest peak of the house to maximize radon exhaust efficiency. This installation highlights our commitment to providing customized and effective radon mitigation solutions that respect the architectural integrity and aesthetic values of each home we service.
This Stamford radon mitigation project presented unique challenges: a high radon level of 11.6 in a semi-finished basement of a house built in 1966, and the presence of a non-friendly dog. With no existing sump pump or large cracks, our team installed a two-pipe system after ensuring the homeowner secured the dog. Communication was key, as I explained any potential changes or additional charges would be discussed before proceeding, ensuring transparency and preparedness for unforeseen adjustments.
In preparation for selling a Stamford home built in 1971 with a dangerously high radon level of 10, our team undertook a meticulous radon mitigation project. The system was installed adjacent to the sump pump in the finished basement, requiring a tall ladder for precise placement. This job not only ensured the reduction of radon levels but also enhanced the home's marketability, offering peace of mind to potential buyers about the property's safety.
When tasked with installing a radon mitigation system in a Stamford home built around 1980, careful consideration was given to integrate the system without altering the home’s original structure. The property, which showed a radon level of 4.5 pCi/L, lacked sump pumps and presented no cracks, posing a challenge for the placement of the mitigation system. By following Option 2 from our clipboard plans, the system was installed to utilize the single foundation setup, placing components where they would be most effective yet least intrusive. This careful planning and execution ensured that the radon levels were controlled, enhancing the home’s safety while respecting its architectural heritage.
Addressing the high radon levels in a grand 5200 sq ft colonial home in Stamford posed a unique challenge. The discovery of two pre-installed pipes in the foundation during our initial site evaluation sparked a tailored solution. By converting these into a functional two-pipe radon mitigation system and situating it in the home’s large utility room, we managed to effectively tackle the radon issue head-on. This strategic placement allowed us to enhance the system's efficiency and maintain the integrity of the home’s design, ensuring that the property remains both safe and aesthetically pleasing for its residents.
This home, a ranch-style residence built in 1956 located in Stamford, Connecticut, had its charm but faced a modern hazard: elevated radon levels averaging 5.2 across three tests. With a mostly finished basement and the absence of sump pumps, the situation necessitated a tailored solution. The chosen mitigation strategy involved the installation of a radon reduction system. This system was strategically placed outside near the air conditioning unit, with piping elbowing towards the front of the house for optimal radon venting. An additional radon cover was brought in to ensure system durability and efficiency. To finalize the service, the homeowners were instructed to leave a check outside for the work completed, streamlining the process for both parties involved. This intervention not only secured the structural integrity of the home but also the health of its inhabitants.
