Radon Extraction Point
Our crew started work on the project by creating an extraction point in the foundation floor. PVC pipe was then fit to the extraction point and directed to the exterior of the home.
Radon Fan
As the PVC pipe reached the exterior of the home, the radon fan was installed. The radon fan is designed to extract radon that resides in the soil underneath the foundation. More PVC pipe was then constructed from the fan that extended above the roofline, ensuring that the gas was far away from any entry points of the home.
Radon Monometer
A monometer is connected to the system to assure that the system is operating correctly. This device measures the amount of air that is being drawn from underneath the foundation, a visual representation that the home is being safeguarded from radon gas.
Foundation Crack Sealing
All foundation cracks were sealed using NexusPro. Not only is this going to prevent further cracking in the foundation, but radon is no longer able to seep through the cracks.
Sealing Cold Joints
Similar to sealing the foundation cracks, the cold joints in the basement were sealed using NexusPro as well.
