Radon Extraction Point
Extraction points were created through the foundation floor of the basement to depressurize the radon gas in the soil beneath the home. PVC piping was installed at these extraction points and routed to the exterior, ensuring the safe removal of radon from the soil and away from the residence.
Radon PVC Pipe
The PVC piping connects to the additional extraction point, creating a continuous pathway for the safe removal of radon gas from the home.
Extraction Point #2
After merging the PVC piping from the two extraction points, the pipe was routed through the home's siding to exit the basement. Multiple extraction points were necessary due to the elevated radon levels, ensuring that radon concentrations were minimized as much as possible.
Extraction Point #3
The same process was followed for the installation of a second radon mitigation system.
Merging PVC Pipe on Second Radon Mitigation System
The same process was followed for the installation of a second radon mitigation system.
Radon Extraction Point #4
The same process was followed for the installation of a second radon mitigation system.
Radon Fan
As the PVC pipe reaches the exterior of the home, the radon fan is securely attached to it. The radon fan actively extracts radon from the soil beneath the foundation, preventing the gas from seeping into the home.
Radon Fan #2
Once the radon fan is installed, additional PVC piping extends above the roofline to ensure the safe release of radon gas, well away from any potential entry points into the home.
Radon Manometer
A radon manometer was installed to monitor the efficiency of the radon mitigation system. This device provides a visual indication that the system is functioning correctly, offering homeowners peace of mind.
