In Prospect, we reviewed a home that recently tested with elevated radon levels during the home sale process.

The property already has a passive radon system installed, meaning the piping infrastructure is in place beneath the foundation and extends through the home. Rather than requiring a full mitigation installation, the system simply needs to be activated by adding a radon fan to convert it into an active mitigation system.

This is often one of the most efficient mitigation scenarios because the existing radon-ready components can be utilized without requiring additional extraction points or extensive foundation work.

The home is associated with a pending real estate transaction, and addressing the radon concern is an important step toward helping the sale move forward smoothly. The project was coordinated through Dave Jones Realty, and the planned fan installation will transform the passive system into a fully operational radon reduction system.

Once activated, the system will continuously create negative pressure beneath the foundation and safely vent soil gases above the roofline before they can enter the living space.

The project focuses on quickly and effectively reducing radon levels while utilizing the existing radon-ready infrastructure already built into the home.

In Prospect, we evaluated an existing radon mitigation system after the homeowner discovered that the system had been wired incorrectly since its installation in 2018.

The home currently has an active mitigation system that was originally installed by another contractor. The homeowner noticed that the radon fan shuts off whenever the basement light switch at the top of the stairs is turned off, meaning the mitigation system has not been receiving continuous power as intended.

Because radon mitigation fans are designed to operate 24 hours a day, wiring the fan through a light switch can significantly impact system performance and may contribute to elevated radon readings. The homeowner reported current radon levels remaining in the 5 pCi/L range.

The service plan includes correcting the electrical connection so the mitigation fan receives uninterrupted power through the dedicated electrical circuit near the breaker panel and adjacent GFCI outlet.

In addition to the electrical correction, the system identification label will be updated and the current operating pressure will be documented on the system sticker for future reference and service tracking.

The project focused on restoring proper continuous operation of the mitigation system and improving long-term radon reduction performance throughout the home.

In Prospect, we evaluated a colonial-style home after radon levels tested at 5.6 pCi/L.

The home includes a straightforward single-foundation layout with no sump pump system or perimeter water management system present beneath the basement floor.

A one-pipe radon mitigation system was designed with the extraction point planned within the oil tank room to improve airflow beneath the slab while maintaining a clean and practical installation layout.

Because the home is not especially tall, the exterior vent routing allows for a simpler and more direct system design while still maintaining proper airflow and venting performance.

The consultation focused on creating an efficient mitigation setup that improves long-term indoor air quality while working cleanly within the existing basement utility space.

In Prospect, we worked with a homeowner who has lived in the property for approximately 45 years and had never previously completed radon testing within the home.

After decades of ownership, the homeowner decided it was important to better understand the indoor air quality conditions and evaluate potential radon exposure levels within the property.

The consultation focused on reviewing the home and preparing for professional radon testing to establish a clearer picture of the lower-level air conditions throughout the structure.

Long-term homeowners are often surprised to learn that radon levels can change over time due to shifting soil conditions, airflow patterns, seasonal weather, and updates made to the home throughout the years.

The project centered on helping the homeowner take a proactive step toward understanding and improving indoor air quality after many years in the home.

In Prospect, we evaluated a home built around 1985 after radon levels tested at 6.9 pCi/L.

The property includes a single foundation layout with no sump pump system and no significant visible foundation cracking, allowing the mitigation strategy to focus primarily on improving airflow beneath the slab.

A one-pipe radon mitigation system was designed with vent routing planned along the right side of the home to provide effective sub-slab communication and long-term radon reduction performance.

The project planning focused on creating a clean and efficient mitigation layout while preparing the vacant property for improved indoor air quality moving forward.

In Prospect, we worked with homeowners preparing to sell their property after a buyer’s radon test measured 7.4 pCi/L during the transaction process.

The consultation focused on preparing a mitigation solution that would improve indoor air quality and help support the home sale moving forward.

Because elevated radon levels are commonly identified during real estate inspections, the project planning centered on creating a practical mitigation strategy that could be completed efficiently within the transaction timeline.

The visit focused on reviewing the foundation conditions and preparing for system installation to help lower radon levels prior to closing.

In Prospect, we reviewed an existing radon mitigation system after radon levels remained higher than expected.

To improve overall airflow beneath the foundation and strengthen system performance, a second extraction point was added to the existing mitigation setup. Expanding extraction coverage can help improve suction across more areas beneath the slab, especially in homes where a single extraction point is not providing enough sub-slab communication.

The upgrade was designed to improve overall radon reduction while utilizing the existing mitigation infrastructure already in place at the home.

In Prospect, we worked on a home located within a 55+ community where radon levels tested at 4.6 pCi/L.

The home already had a passive radon system in place running through the attic and out above the roofline. To improve system performance and actively reduce radon levels, a fan was added to convert the passive setup into an active mitigation system.

As part of the installation, adjustments were also made beneath the slab by opening the elbow connection in the ground to improve suction and airflow beneath the foundation.

This upgrade allowed the existing system to operate more effectively while working within the original pipe layout already built into the home.

In Prospect, a home tested at a radon level of 4.2 pCi/L. This is just above the EPA recommended action level, where mitigation is typically advised to reduce long-term exposure.

Testing is the first step in understanding indoor air quality, and results like this help guide the next steps for creating a safer living environment.

With the property reading 7.6 pCi/L and sitting vacant, we were tasked with prepping for radon mitigation without meeting the homeowner onsite. An eKey was used for entry, and our team will perform a full installation with strategic placement, wiring, and post-install inspection.

Despite the hands-off nature of the job, everything will be handled to professional standard — a reminder that safety doesn’t wait for convenience.

A 1960 colonial-style home in Prospect, CT, tested at 14.0 pCi/L, well above EPA and WHO safety thresholds. Our crew installed a three-pipe radon mitigation system—targeting both the main foundation and crawl space. We partnered with CT Basement Systems, who are scheduled to seal the WaterGuard, while we handled the full crack sealing and mitigation setup. The result: a safe, code-compliant, and future-ready radon system that protects both property and health.

In Prospect, CT, a home with a critical radon level of 23.7 required a comprehensive mitigation approach. Collaborating with specialists Marco and Nate, our team designed a four-pipe system using ABS for the basement, with external white PVC routing. This solution addressed the unique challenges presented by the home's layout, including two footers in the basement. The system's external pipes were carefully placed to avoid obstructing key areas near the back stairs, with adjustments made to the positioning of a camera to monitor the system’s performance effectively.

In Prospect, CT, concerns about an old radon mitigation fan led Kevin to request a service check from our team. After a careful assessment, we determined whether a replacement was necessary, considering the fan’s age and performance. The potential replacement, costing $695, would guarantee the mitigation system continues to operate efficiently, safeguarding the home from radon exposure effectively.

In Prospect, CT, a homeowner preparing to sell their house faced a radon level of 5. To enhance the home's marketability and ensure safety for future occupants, we installed a one-pipe radon mitigation system. This system was designed considering the unique characteristics of the home, including a crawl space open to the outside, which required careful planning to ensure effective radon reduction without significant structural changes.
