Basement & Radon Solutions installed a Sub-Slab Interior Closet radon system. The radon suction line proposed was installed in the master bedroom closet 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 was then extended through the master bedroom closet into the attic. The radon fan was mounted in the attic. The radon fan vent pipe extended through and was properly flashed above the roof to safely expel the radon gas. The manometer gauge (homeowner radon fan monitoring vacuum gauge) was installed on the suction line pipe in the closet for easy viewing. This 4″ piping system will reduce radon levels in the home up to 33% opposed to using a 3″ suction line line. We also installed a Radon System Alarm – 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 radon test that came back at 0.7 pCi/l!
It was a pleasure helping Teresa & Thomas make their new home happy, healthy, & safe!
