Transforming Air Quality: Bristol Home Radon Mitigation
Before: The home in Bristol, CT, exhibited radon levels that exceeded safe limits, posing a health risk to its inhabitants. After: Post-installation, the home now features a fully operational radon mitigation system that has successfully reduced radon levels to well within the EPA�s recommended safety guidelines. The new system ensures continuous control of radon, significantly enhancing the safety and air quality of the home.
From Hazard to Haven: Transforming Air Quality in a 1950 Fairfield Home
Before: Nestled in the heart of Fairfield, CT, a home built in 1950 faced a silent but significant challenge. Radon levels, both in the basement and on the slab, alarmingly peaked at 11, far above the EPA's recommended safety level. The residence, with its traditional charm, hid beneath it a health risk that went unnoticed day by day. The setup included two rudimentary pipes, one in the foundation and one in the slab, inadequately equipped to handle the severity of radon infiltration. The sump pump sat exposed, a testament to the home's aging infrastructure, with no measures in place to control moisture, a critical factor in radon accumulation.
After: The transformation of the Fairfield home is a narrative of technological advancement and safety prioritization. At the heart of the mitigation strategy was the installation of the Eagle Extreme fan, a model chosen for its robust performance and reliability. This system, now fully operational, has dramatically reduced radon levels to a safe 2.5, turning the home from a hazard to a haven. The dual-pipe system, meticulously designed, directs radon from beneath the home and safely out the left side, preventing any re-entry into living spaces. In addressing the challenge of moisture, a strategic decision was made to install a moisture guard. This critical component works seamlessly with the radon mitigation system to ensure a dry and efficient operation, safeguarding the foundation and interior from the risks of dampness. Furthermore, the decision to leave the sump pump uncovered, yet protected, maintained the home's integrity while ensuring easy access for maintenance and inspections. To underscore the commitment to health and safety, the installation was concluded with the provision of a system warranty. This warranty serves as a pledge of quality and effectiveness, offering the homeowners peace of mind and confidence in their newly secured environment.
The Result: Today, the Fairfield home stands as a model of indoor air quality transformation. Through targeted interventions and the integration of advanced mitigation technologies, the house has been reborn as a safe, healthy living space. The once-concerning radon levels are now a thing of the past, allowing the residents to breathe easy and enjoy their home with renewed comfort and assurance.
Enhancing Safety in a Thomaston Home
Before: A charming Cape built in 1946 in Thomaston, CT, tested at 4.1 pCi/L for radon, above the EPA�s action threshold, posing health risks to the occupants. After: Post-installation of a tailored radon mitigation system, including effective sealing and a new ventilation setup, radon levels were successfully reduced to below 2.0 pCi/L. The home now adheres to safe living standards, providing a healthier environment for its residents.
Securing Air Quality through Radon Mitigation in a 2022 Oxford Residence
Before: A 2022 home in Oxford, CT, revealed radon levels of 16 pCi/L, significantly above safe limits, with many cracks found in the basement floor, undermining the efficiency of the existing passive radon system.
After: Post-enhancement, the home features a fully integrated active radon mitigation system. All basement cracks were meticulously sealed, and with the upgraded system operational, radon levels dramatically decreased to below 2.0 pCi/L, establishing a safer and more secure environment.
Cheshire, CT Residence RMS Update and Waterproofing Remedy
Upon acquiring a charming home in the serene community of Cheshire, CT, the new homeowners encountered a radon level of 7 pCi/L�above the EPA's recommended action level. The existing radon mitigation system needed reassessment to ensure safety and efficacy. Prior to intervention, the basement held a waterproofing mat, which unfortunately had to be removed due to flooding issues, potentially compromising the radon system's performance. Our intervention included a meticulous inspection and upgrade of the current radon mitigation setup. To address the elevated radon levels and prevent future water intrusion, we implemented a robust solution that ensured both radon reduction and moisture control. The customized approach was geared to seamlessly integrate with the home's existing safety systems, maintaining aesthetic integrity while enhancing the residence's safety standards. With these adjustments, the homeowners can now enjoy peace of mind in their new abode, safeguarded from the invisible risks of radon.
