Apex Radon Solutions Before & After Photos

Before

Built in 1890, this Sherman home has an old fieldstone foundation, a sand-based crawl space environment, and three separate dirt crawl spaces. Radon levels range from 3.0 to 5.0 pCi/L, with readings reaching the EPA’s recommended action level of 4.0 pCi/L. The foundation has multiple areas that need to be addressed, including openings that require concrete sealing. The three crawl spaces are planned for encapsulation by CT Basement Systems.

After (Planned Work)

A five-point radon mitigation system is planned, with three extraction points serving the crawl spaces and two serving the main foundation. A Festa Hawk fan will provide the suction needed to draw soil gases into the system and vent them outdoors. The plan also includes sealing identified openings in the concrete, while CT Basement Systems will handle crawl space encapsulation. Once the planned work is complete, follow-up radon testing can help evaluate the system’s performance.

Before

The existing radon mitigation system had disconnected piping, exposed wiring beneath the switch, and a cracked elbow above the fan. These issues need to be addressed before the system can be considered properly repaired.

After

Apex Radon Solutions plans to replace the fan with an RP265 model, repair the exposed wiring, reconnect the piping, and replace the cracked elbow. Once the repairs are completed, the system can be checked for proper operation. The service date remains pending confirmation from the realtor.

Before

The home has elevated radon levels and does not currently have an active mitigation system.

After (Planned Work)

A one-point radon mitigation system will be installed, with piping routed from the basement and exiting on the right side of the home near the chimney.

Before

The home had an elevated radon level of 9.0 pCi/L, with both a main basement and a separate crawl space to address. The utility room included a floor opening that required attention, and the homeowner noted that thick concrete could make creating an extraction point more challenging.

After

A two-point radon mitigation system was installed, with one extraction point serving the crawl space and the other serving the basement utility room. The system was equipped with an RP265 fan, and the utility room perimeter and designated floor opening were addressed as part of the installation. Post-installation radon testing is the next step to confirm the system’s performance.

Before

The home had radon piping installed during construction, but it did not yet have an active fan or completed roof vent. With radon levels measuring 11–13 pCi/L, the existing setup needed to be completed to actively draw radon from beneath the foundation and exhaust it safely outdoors.

After

Apex Radon Solutions completed the attic fan enclosure and installed the vent piping through the roof. The fan is housed in an insulated box designed for the home's conditioned attic space. The remaining electrical connection was to be handled by the homeowner's electrician.
