One-Point Radon Mitigation System Installed in Redding Center

Before

This approximately 1,200-square-foot investment property in Redding Center was built around 1950 and tested between 4.8 and 5.0 pCi/L for radon. The readings were above the EPA’s recommended action level of 4.0 pCi/L. The home has gravel beneath the foundation and does not have a sump pump or WaterGuard system.

After

A one-point radon mitigation system was installed to draw soil gases from beneath the foundation and vent them outdoors. The exterior piping is positioned at the back of the home near the air-conditioning system. The system provides a targeted approach suited to the home’s existing foundation layout. Follow-up radon testing is recommended to evaluate the system’s performance.
