Basement & Radon Solutions installed a Sub-Membrane Exterior Radon Mitigation System for Shy. Here is what it consists of…
A 4″ radon depressurization suction line was installed in the crawl space, and our 9 mil liner will cover the crawl space floor and be mechanically fastened to the foundation walls. The suction line was then extended to the exterior of the home. The radon fan was installed on the exterior of the home. Then the radon fan vent pipe from the fan was extended 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 then added the Radon System Alarm. Radon System Alarms are now required on all new 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 test for Shy. The radon test came back at 1.1 pCl/i!
It was a pleasure helping Shy make her home happy, healthy, & safe again!
