Before

The home had a radon level of 6.0 pCi/L with no mitigation system in place. A crack near the utility room and garage connection was identified as a potential entry point.

After

A one-pipe radon mitigation system was installed, and the identified crack area was reviewed for proper sealing to help reduce radon entry.

Client moved into their new home, prior testing found the radon reading to be higher than 6 pCi/L. Apex recommended to seal the cracks and to install a radon reduction system. After the radon mitigation system was installed and the radon levels were retested, the reading was less than 2.0 pCi/L. 

Radon comes from the soil and enters through cracks in your home. Your home pulls the air from under the foundation into your home. If the radon levels are high and the radon is trapped in your home it is not safe or healthy for your family. By sealing the cracks we are deterring the radon from entering the home and allowing the radon system to work properly. 

Before

The exterior of the home had no radon mitigation system in place, with no visible piping along the outside of the house.

After

A radon mitigation pipe was installed along the exterior of the home, routed from the basement/garage area and vented above the roofline for proper airflow.

Before

The basement/garage area had no radon mitigation system in place. The space included a fieldstone foundation and slab with no existing suction point.

After

A radon mitigation pipe was installed in the front right corner of the basement/garage, positioned to stay as discreet as possible while creating an effective suction point.
