This home, built in the 1900s, tested at a radon level of 11 pCi/L and has two foundations: a main foundation and a crawl space. A three-pipe mitigation system was installed—two extraction points in the main foundation and one in the crawl space. The system was routed near the Bilco door, and cement work was required to seal the extraction points.

Before,

The client expressed uncertainty about the ideal placement of the radon mitigation system — either in the middle of the basement near the oil tank or in the corner of the house. The home, built in 1955 with one foundation and no sump pump or water guard, required careful planning due to the small layout and potential obstructions. Discussions were held with the client, and it was confirmed that they preferred Option 2, which was to install the system in the corner of the basement.

After, 

Following the client’s decision, the team installed a single-pipe radon mitigation system in the designated corner of the house. The setup avoided major obstructions, respected the home’s existing structural elements, and optimized radon gas ventilation. The final system met performance and aesthetic expectations, keeping the space functional and effective for radon reduction.

Before

The home tested at 7.9 pCi/L with no active radon mitigation system installed beneath the foundation.

After (Planned Work)

 

A one-pipe radon mitigation system is planned near the basement window area to improve airflow beneath the slab and reduce radon levels throughout the home.

View the significant changes in our radon mitigation project in New Milford. Initially, the home had a radon level of 10 and poorly configured extraction points. After evaluating the existing system, we chose the most effective original extraction point and added two new ones in the unfinished part of the house. The after photos showcase the newly optimized system, demonstrating our commitment to enhancing safety and functionality in radon mitigation.

View the transformation in a Bridgeport home's basement from a basic, unfinished space to a protected, future-ready area. Initially faced with a radon level of 3.5, our team installed a comprehensive mitigation system alongside a Sedona dehumidifier, integrated seamlessly with the existing Waterguard system. The before and after photos highlight the enhancements made to safeguard the basement against radon and moisture, setting the stage for a comfortable living space.
