Photo Album: Upgrading Items Around the Home, Sandown, NH

A Sandown, New Hampshire homeowner who purchased their home in 1987 recently wanted to remodel some things around their home. They planned to finish a portion of their basement but wanted to ensure good air quality and address any water concerns. The homeowner contacted EFS to look into their basement and test for radon and water issues. Design Specialist John Prince met with the homeowner and suggested installing a radon mitigation system, SaniDry, IceGuard, and a TripleSafe in the basement to resolve their concerns.  Kyle DeChane led our installation team, who began by chipping out an extraction point and a basin in the basement slab for our radon system and sump pump. Next, PVC pipes were installed at the extraction point and fed to the exterior of the home. The team then installed a fan to the side of the home and connected it to the extraction point. After venting the system above the roofline of the home to prevent radon from re-entering the home, the team installed the TripleSafe into the basin and plumbed it out to the exterior of the home. They also installed an IceGuard to the side of the home and extended a 10' Exterior Drainage Line to carry water away from the foundation and prevent it from re-entering the basement. The drainage line was secured by mixing concrete and pouring it around the basin of the TripleSafe. Finally, the team installed our SaniDry dehumidifier next to the sump and set the discharge line into the basin of the TripleSafe.
