7 pCi/L Radon Levels Addressed with Professional Mitigation System
A home recently tested at 7 pCi/L, prompting the homeowner to move forward with professional radon mitigation. With elevated radon levels detected, the goal was to create a reliable system that would reduce radon exposure and improve indoor air quality. The mitigation plan included routing the system from the sump area through the office for an interior installation. An exterior option was also considered to accommodate the home's layout while maintaining an effective path for safely venting radon outdoors.

Radon Mitigation for Two Story Home With Future Addition Plans
This older two-story home tested at 6.8 pCi/L, prompting a smart radon mitigation plan designed with future expansion in mind. With another addition planned, the system will exit on the east side, avoiding interference with upcoming construction. The design includes two sub-slab extraction points on either side of the poured foundation wall, with one placed near the plumbing stack. The system will core low through the foundation and route around the soffit for a clean finish. Care was taken to preserve the homeowner’s layout, allowing furniture to remain in place. To further improve indoor air quality, the project also includes duct cleaning and a Breathe EZ filter installation.

Radon Levels Lead Family to Plan Two-Point Mitigation System
After living in their home for several years, this family decided to take action to create a healthier indoor environment for their children. Increased media coverage and growing awareness of radon risks in their community also encouraged them to look into mitigation. A home detector showed radon levels around 9 pCi/L on the main floor, above the EPA's recommended action level of 4 pCi/L. A charcoal test kit was left to measure basement levels, with the final scope subject to those results. The proposed solution includes a two-point radon mitigation system, with extraction points serving the crawlspace and basement. This customized approach addresses the home's challenging foundation layout while helping reduce radon exposure.

Radon Mitigation for Home Sale With High Radon Levels and Results
Ron and Kathy are preparing to sell their parents’ home, which is currently under contract. Radon became a concern after electronic readings on the main level showed levels in the mid-20s, prompting action before closing. A charcoal test kit has been provided to confirm levels, with results pending at the time of installation. Because of the potential for extremely high radon levels, no guarantee will be offered until verified results are received. The goal is to provide the new homeowners with a safer living environment through professional radon mitigation and proper testing.
