Radon Mitigation Upgrade for Historic or Old Victorian Home with High Radon Levels

This 1880s Victorian home had a single-point system installed in 2017, but even with multiple fan replacements, levels stayed around 6 pCi/L. No improvements with the indoor air quality. With three chambers, interior waterproofing tile, and an inaccessible crawlspace, the system simply couldn’t keep up. Our solution is a second sub slab extraction point on the NE corner, independent from the tile system, plus needed crack sealing and a clean exit route out the back to protect the home’s aesthetics. A 16x25 BEZ will also boost indoor air quality. This upgrade gives the best chance at lowering radon levels safely.

The client, with a background in HVAC, discussed plans for his home, originally lifted and dropped back on a foundation, causing a spike in radon levels. With the downstairs undergoing renovation, he aims to hide the radon system in the ceiling near the joist, dropping it down about a foot and a half. Three extraction points are planned: one from the sump area, extending to a storage area, and the third running towards the staircase, exiting near the sliding door. The client will handle drywalling a portion himself, prioritizing a concealed installation. He'll be present during the installation for any adjustments or complications. Given initial levels of 20 and occasional deviations, a cautious approach involves implementing a 3-point system.

Radon Mitigation and Duct Cleaning for Home With 11 pCi/L Radon Levels

With radon levels averaging 11 pCi/L, this homeowner scheduled a full radon mitigation system installation along with duct cleaning to improve indoor air quality. Duct cleaning is set within the package along with radon mitigation. The plan includes two extraction points: one near the washer and dryer routed above the ceiling, and another along the exterior wall. The system will exit by coring through the foundation, with the fan installed under the deck and piping routed up the side of the home through a deck board. While UVC and Breathe Easy upgrades were considered, they may be added later.

Large Crawl Space Encapsulation and Multi-Point Radon Mitigation Project for Maximum Protection

This home required a major indoor air quality upgrade with two separate radon mitigation systems and full crawl space encapsulation. The first system is a two-point setup with an extraction point near the basement stairs connected into a clean crawl space area, exiting near the rear section of the home. The second system is a three-point radon mitigation design covering multiple basement chambers and crawl spaces, including a concrete crawl area and another section needing full encapsulation. Radon Fan housing covers were also requested to improve the exterior appearance while maintaining strong radon reduction performance. With multiple chambers, crawl spaces, and high-risk air leakage areas, this project is built for long-term radon protection and healthier indoor air quality.

When is Radon Mitigation Necessary?

Our client had this booked ahead of time but he was rushed to the hospital under critical condition. On these circumstances, the team tries their best to make sure everything is convenient to the client and won't add stress to the situation.

The client called us when he got home and wanted to get something going. He wants the system to be exiting the house out of the small electrical closet in the corner. Either that or pulling from the sump due to tiling lines. He specifically requested a Breathe EZ for layered health. As a heads up, the client really liked the sound of the Sedona but wasn't ready to pull the trigger do to total project cost. He will definitely contact us back once he is ready!
