Basement & Radon Solutions helped Zach by installed a Sub-Slab Exterior mitigation system. The radon suction line was installed in the center rear end of the 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 then extended to the center rear exterior of the home. Then, the radon fan was mounted on the rear exterior, then the radon vent pipe was extended 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 for easy viewing. The Radon System Alarm was installed. 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 test that came back at 2.3 pCi/l.
It was a pleasure helping Zach make his new home happy, healthy, & safe!
