Basement & Radon Solutions installed a Sub-Slab Horizontal Exterior radon mitigation system for Les. The radon suction line proposed was installed on the right exterior of the home. A diagnostics test was performed to analyze the pressure extension field below the slab. After diagnostics for system performance, a 5″ diameter hole was drilled through the right foundation wall to just below the interior concrete slab. This is where a suction pit was then created. A 4″ schedule 40 PVC suction line was installed in the foundation wall and sealed. The radon fan was mounted on the right exterior of the home with the vent pipe extending to just above the roofline to expel the radon gas safely. Varmint and rain guard PVC exhaust caps are installed on all Basement & Radon Solutions exterior radon systems that prevent rain, debris, small animals and birds from entering the vent pipe, guarding and extending the life of your radon system. If desired, the exterior system can be painted in the future for added aesthetics. We also put a Manometer on the radon system. A Manometer is a vacuum gauge installed on radon vent pipe for easy viewing. Lastly, we preformed a post radon test that came back at 1.2 pCi/l!
It was a pleasure helping Les make his home happy, healthy & safe again!
