Radon Gas Mitigation Photo Album: Radon Mitigation System, Dorchester, MA
A homeowner in Dorchester, Massachusetts, planned to create a playroom in their basement. Before they start repurposing the space they decided to test for radon in the basement. The tests came back at .9 pCi/L which is on the lower side, but any amount of radon can be harmful. Our design specialist Kenny Calabrese recommended installing a radon mitigation system.
Our production team installed the radon mitigation system in the basement. The team vented the radon pipe thru the side of the home, up the exterior wall, and above any roofline or window.
Exterior Before
The radon fan and exhaust pipe will vent to the outside of the home.
Radon Pipe in Closet
The radon pipe is set into the concrete to pull any air from under the home that may carry radon gas and push that air outside of the home.
Radon Fan
The radon fan is secured outside of the home. The fan pulls air through the pipe to suck up any radon-filled air to the outside of the home.
Radon Fan and Exhaust Pipe Installed
The team makes sure the fan is working and that the exhaust is above any windows or rooflines to make sure no radon can enter back into the home.
