Photo Album: Installing Radon System to Newly Purchased Home, Amherst, NH
A new resident in Amherst, New Hampshire recently bought a home and discovered that the radon levels were averaging around 11 pCi/L. The homeowners decided to seek help from EFS and requested a radon mitigation system to be installed in their home. Our Design Specialist, Isaac, met with the homeowners and designed an effective radon mitigation system for their house.
Our installation team began the process by creating an extraction point near the water heater in the basement. They then installed PVC pipes from the extraction point to the exterior of the house. On the exterior, the team set up the radon fan, connected it to the pipes, and vented the system above the roofline.
After a week, the homeowner tested the home again and found that the radon levels had decreased to below 4.0 pCi/L. The installation was successful and the homeowners were satisfied with the outcome.
The Basement Before Radon System

Before Radon System Installed
The radon fan will be installed on the exterior of the home.
Extraction Point and PVC Pipe
The team installed the extraction point and PVC pipe to carry radon-filled air to the radon fan on the exterior of the home.
Radon Fan Installed
The team installed the fan and connected the PVC pipe to the fan. This will allow the fan to draw the radon from beneath the foundation of the home and send it out into the open air to dissipate.
