Radon Gas Mitigation Photo Album: Lowering Home Radon Levels in Amherst, NH

A homeowner in Amherst, NH, became alarmed upon discovering that their home's radon levels were at 15 picocuries per liter, significantly exceeding the Environmental Protection Agency's recommended action level of 4 picocuries per liter. Radon, a hazardous gas that can infiltrate homes through the soil beneath the foundation, poses serious health risks. Seeking to protect their home and family, the homeowner sought a reputable and communicative company to address the issue. This photo gallery demonstrates our successful efforts in significantly reducing radon levels, ensuring the home is now a safe environment free from radon gas.

Radon Extraction Point

The crew started work on the project by creating an extraction point in the basement floor. This depressurized the area, allowing radon to be extracted through PVC pipe.

Additional Extraction Point

Given the elevated radon levels in the home, the installation of a secondary extraction point was crucial to effectively mitigate the radon concentration. The PVC pipes from both extraction points were then integrated and routed through the home's siding to exit the basement, ensuring a comprehensive and efficient radon reduction system.

Radon Fan

Upon reaching the home's exterior, the PVC pipe was connected to a radon fan. This fan actively extracts radon from the soil beneath the home's foundation and expels it above the roofline, away from any potential entry points. This method ensures the safe removal of radon, preventing any exposure within the home.
