Before:

In a quaint 1994 colonial-style home, nestled within its 1900 square feet basement, an invisible intruder was lurking at a radon level of 4.5. This space, divided between finished and unfinished areas, served dual purposes — one for utility and storage, and the other for fitness routines. Despite the cozy domesticity, the radon readings indicated a potential risk to the inhabitants. Two pipes, integral to the radon mitigation system, ran through the basement. One was situated in the unfinished section, and the other close to the sweat and steel of the workout area. The question of seamlessly integrating the system within the home's structure posed a challenge, with a preference for concealing the pipes in the open rafters above the drop ceiling. The aim was to direct these pipes to the exterior, specifically in a discreet corner by the air conditioning units. Adding to the complexity was the necessity of a moisture guard to combat any potential dampness that could compromise the system’s integrity.

 

After:

The transformation of the colonial home's radon mitigation system marks a significant improvement in the dwelling's safety and aesthetic. The once visible radon pipes have now been ingeniously rerouted to blend with the home's interior — tucked away in the open rafters, invisible to the eye yet functional. The two-pipe system now operates inconspicuously: one pipe emerges from the unfinished basement, traversing the space without detracting from its utility, while the other pipe near the workout area no longer intrudes upon the homeowner's fitness sanctuary. Both pipes discreetly exit the home, ensuring the radon levels are effectively mitigated without compromising the colonial charm. An essential addition to this upgraded system is the moisture guard, diligently installed to shield the home from the perils of humidity. Residents can now breathe easier, enjoying both their workouts and their storage space, assured in the knowledge that their radon levels are under control, and the aesthetic integrity of their basement is preserved.

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.

Job Stories From New Canaan, CT
New Canaan Consultation: Coordinating with Contractor and Seller on Crawlspace Mitigation

This project in New Canaan, CT began with a phone consultation from Adrian Dognin, the general contractor managing the renovation of the home. According to Adrian, one part of the house has already been taken down to the studs, while the other part of the home remains, and it contains a crawlspace underneath. He noted that the radon levels are elevated, although the exact pCi/L was not provided, and he suspects the crawlspace was not included in the original radon testing.

 

The homeowner, Lynne, is preparing to sell the home but currently has no firm closing date. Either Adrian or Lynne will be present during the on-site consultation. During the visit, be sure to get Lynne’s contact details and update the client record to reflect her information directly.

 

 

The next step will include visual inspection, possible re-testing (especially in the crawlspace), and mapping out potential system design(s) that may include both slab and crawlspace mitigation strategies, depending on confirmed radon levels and structural access.
