Radon Gas Mitigation Photo Album: Installing 2nd Radon System to Lower Levels Below 4pCi/L, Andover, MA

This homeowner in Andover, Massachusetts, is a prior customer of EFS. In this past year, the homeowners welcomed their first child into the world and have become vigilant of harmful things around them. Our team installed a Radon Mitigation System in their home last year and was able to get their radon below 4.0 pCi/L but this year when they tested after their child was born it was above 4.0. The homeowners called EFS for an inspection of their home. Our Design Specialist Mark Proctor inspected the home and reviewed the radon results with the homeowner. Mark then designed a second radon system to install in the home to lower the levels back below 4.0 pCi/L. Our Installation Team led by Branden Edwards, began by creating an extraction point in the basement. The team attached a PVC pipe to the extraction point and then plumbed the PVC pipe to the exterior of the home where the team will install the radon fan to the side of the home. Once the PVC pipe was plumbed into the exterior the team integrated it to the radon fan. Once combined the team then used more PVC pipe and vented the radon system about the roofline of the home to make sure radon cannot re-enter the home.  After the installation, the homeowners tested their home for radon about a week later and the results of the test were below 4.0 pCi/L.
