Radon Gas Mitigation Photo Album: Sale of Home Dependent on Radon System Installation, Stoneham, MA
A homeowner in Stoneham, Massachusetts, was moving out west and put their home in Stoneham up for sale. The home had been on the market for a little while and they received an offer on the home but the buyer wanted a radon test done in the home and a radon system to be installed in the home before the purchase. The seller of the home decided to call EFS for a free radon inspection, and the design specialist dropped off a CRM test to monitor the levels of radon in the home. 48 hours after the CRM was dropped off in the home, the design specialist collected the CRM and reviewed the radon levels with the homeowner. The radon levels in the home were around 13.9 pCi/L which was relatively high, so the design specialist recommended installing a radon mitigation system into the home.
Our production team began by chipping out the 3 extraction points in the basement. Once the extraction points were chipped out the team used PVC piping to connect all of the extraction points. Once connected the team guided the PVC pipping outside to where the Radon Fan will be installed. The team installed the Radon Fan on the outside of the home. The team made sure to vent the PVC pipe above the roofline to make sure radon can't re-enter the home.
