Radon pipe in basement
A pipe is placed beneath the homes basement floor, which draws the radon from the soil up into the pipe rather than allowing the gas to leak into the home.
Radon manometer
A manometer is attached to the pipe in the basement. The manometer allows the homeowners to check if the system is pulling the right amount of air from the soils beneath the home. If the pull is not strong enough, radon can still potentially leak into the home.
Radon fan
Depending on the air flow and subfloor communication, different size fans are available to ensure enough of the air is pulled. If the fan is not strong enough, radon gas can still potentially leak into the home.
Radon pipe on outside of home
If unable to run a radon pipe up through the house (usually only possible during new home construction), the radon pipe must exit the basement through a wall, and extend up above the roof line of the house.
