A homeowner in Pelham, New Hampshire, had high radon levels in their home, the average level in their radon test was 31 pCi/L. The homeowners have a passive radon system already installed in their home, but the system isn't lowering the radon levels enough. The homeowners planned on finishing their basement but are concerned with the radon levels in the basement. Our design specialist recommended connecting an additional extraction point and fan to the passive system.
Our radon team first chipped out the second extraction point. The extraction point was cut out of the slab in the basement. The team connected the PVC radon pipe to the extraction point and sealed it. After the extraction point was sealed the team connected the radon pipe to the existing passive radon system. After everything was connected the team moved into the attic where the system was vented through the roof. Our team installed a radon fan onto the end of the passive system to make a fully operational radon mitigation system.
