This property is not yet at the installation stage, so there is no "after" yet—but this is a perfect case where pre-planning is key. The contractor, Adrian Dognin, explained that part of the house has been gutted to the studs, while another section (with a crawlspace underneath) remains intact. Radon levels have reportedly tested high, though exact numbers are not available, and Adrian suspects that testing may not have included the crawlspace.

 

 

The home is currently being renovated as part of a sale process, though the homeowner, Lynne, has not yet set a closing date. She is working closely with Adrian to prepare the property for safe occupancy or transfer. This consultation is meant to assess the entire property thoroughly and plan a future system that accounts for both slab and crawlspace areas.

Before:
The radon mitigation system was operating with a basic exterior discharge configuration and lacked additional weather protection at the exhaust termination.

 

 

After:
The exterior system was upgraded with professionally installed vent components, providing a clean appearance, improved durability, and long-term protection from the elements while maintaining proper radon system performance.

Before:
The sump pit was covered with a temporary plywood lid that did not provide an airtight seal, allowing potential pathways for radon and soil gases to enter the basement.

 

 

After:
A custom sealed sump cover was installed and integrated into the radon mitigation system, creating an airtight seal around the sump opening and improving the system's ability to capture and safely vent radon from beneath the foundation.

Before: Concerns about radon safety in a Wilton home prompted the need for a tailored mitigation solution. The initial setup lacked the comprehensive coverage needed for the size and design of the home. After: Post-installation, the Wilton home features a radon mitigation system that not only ensures safety with significantly reduced radon levels but also blends seamlessly with the home's architecture. The system's vent is cleverly integrated with existing downspouts, and the fan is concealed within a decorative lattice fence, ensuring that both safety and aesthetic needs are met.

Explore the before and after transformation of our radon mitigation work in a Wilton home. With radon levels initially at 7.3, our solution involved installing a mitigation system in the basement, sealing the sump pump, and meticulously sealing all floor cracks to prevent radon entry. The after images illustrate the system's discreet integration under the staircase and the reinstatement of cut drywall, showcasing our commitment to both safety and homeowner comfort.
