This homeowner in Alton, New Hampshire, had lived in their home for a little over a year. Before they moved into their home the home was tested for radon and the results were around 5.5 pCi/L. The homeowner didn't think about it much until the following year when they test for radon again. This time the results of the test increased to 7.1 pCi/L. The homeowner now decided to reach out to EFS for a free radon inspection. Our Design Specialist Jason recommended installing a Radon Mitigation System in their basement to reduce the radon levels in the home.
Our Installation Team began by creating a radon extraction point in the basement. After the extraction point was made they then connected PVC pipe to the extraction point and fed more PVC pipe through the side wall to the exterior of the home. The team then installed the radon fan to the exterior of the home and connected it with the PVC pipe to send the radon gas out from inside the home. After the system was installed, the team then used NexusPro to seal any cracks in the concrete slab in the basement.
