Basement & Radon Solutions installed a Sub-Slab Exterior radon mitigation system in for James. The radon suction line proposed was installed in the rear basement slab. After diagnostics for system performance, a 5″ diameter hole was drilled through the concrete slab to the earth below. This is where a suction pit was then created. A 4″ schedule 40 PVC suction line was installed in the slab, sealed and extended to the rear exterior of the home. This is where the radon fan was mounted. The radon vent pipe was then extend above the roofline to help expel the radon gas safely. The manometer gauge (homeowner radon fan monitoring vacuum gauge) was installed on the suction line pipe in the basement. Radon System Alarms are now required on all newly installed residential radon systems. This unit is a vacuum monitoring device utilizing piezo resistive pressure sensor (PPS) technology. This alarm will provide an audible and visual indication to alert the homeowner when the radon system is not moving sufficient air in the event of a power loss to the system. Lastly, we preformed a post mitigation radon test that came back at 1.9 pCi/l!
It was a pleasure helping James make him home happy, healthy, & safe!
