Radon Gas Mitigation Photo Album: Radon Concerns, Nashua, NH

This homeowner in Nashua, New Hampshire, purchased their home 3 years ago. They tested their home for radon and the levels averaged around 8.1 pCi/L which was above the recommended amount of 4.0 pCi/L. With these results, the homeowners decided to call EFS for a free inspection of their basement to see if they could install a radon mitigation system into their home to lower the radon levels.  Our Design Specialist Victor Tapia met with the homeowner and inspected the basement. After looking in the basement, Victor recommended installing a radon mitigation system with a single extraction point.  Our installation team led by Steve Dumais began by using a core drill to create our extraction point. Then the team installed a 3" PVC pipe from the extraction point and fed it to the exterior of the home. On the exterior of the home, we installed our Radon Fan and secured the PVC pipe to the fan. After the radon pipe was secured we then vented the system above the roofline of the home to ensure radon air cannot re-enter the home.  After the system was installed and running, a radon test was left in the basement to make sure the levels were brought down below the recommended 4.0 pCi/L. The homeowners were very pleased with the results of the project and would be called EFS in the future for any foundations, waterproofing, or concrete stabilization concerns.
