High Radon Levels at 28 pCi/L Require Multi-Point Radon Mitigation in Ranch Home

This ranch home previously tested at 28 pCi/L, well above the recommended safety level. To achieve strong radon reduction, a multi-point mitigation system will be installed across both the original basement and the newer addition. In the addition, the sealed sump pit with exterior drain tile will be used as an extraction point, with a second sub-slab point placed about 10 feet away near the sink. In the main basement, three sub-slab extraction points spaced about 10 feet apart will help pull radon from multiple chambers. Both systems will vent through the rim joist or exterior coring, with fans and mufflers mounted on the side of the home for effective radon removal and quieter operation.

Radon Levels of 12 Detected in a Split Entry Home

This family wanted a clean break from all the air pollution going on outside. A friend of theirs recommended they get a radon mitigation system as it also helps clean the radon gas indoors. They had a radon test and returned results were 12 pCi/L which was really high! Worried enough, they decided to have a radon remediation system installed. WIth the help a financing option, it also became easier for them as it was considered an investment.

A radon mitigation system's extraction point typically goes through the concrete floor and beneath the property, but that wasn't an option for radon removal this time. Chuck's floors were poured with radiant heating elements so we couldn't drill through them. While there are a few options for an extraction point without drilling, we opted for a sump pit extraction point as a solution.

Two-Chamber Basement Radon Mitigation for Levels of 9 pCi/L

Radon levels of 9 pCi/L were detected in this home’s two-chamber basement, putting the property well above the EPA recommended action level. With multiple basement sections affecting airflow and pressure, a properly designed radon mitigation system is essential for effective radon reduction. By addressing both chambers, the system will help lower radon exposure risks, improve indoor air quality, and create a healthier environment for the homeowners. Even moderate radon levels can become a long-term health concern, making early mitigation a smart investment for safer living.

Radon System Maintenance and ERV Upgrade Continue Improving Indoor Air Quality

These homeowners reached out to have their existing radon mitigation system inspected and maintained after it was originally installed years ago by Thrasher. Along with the maintenance visit, they also chose to add an ERV installation to further improve indoor air quality throughout the home. The family shared that the original radon system had already made a noticeable difference over the years, especially with fewer respiratory issues and overall healthier air inside the home. With continued radon system maintenance and upgraded ventilation, they are investing in long-term protection, cleaner air, and better home health.
