One-Point Radon Mitigation System Planned for Stamford

Before

The home tested at 4.9 pCi/L, above the EPA action level of 4.0 pCi/L. Built in 1951, the approximately 1,200-square-foot home has no crawl space or sump pump. The basement is being prepared for occupancy, making radon mitigation an important step before the space is regularly used.

After 

We plan to install a one-point radon mitigation system using an extraction point in the boiler room. The PVC pipe will exit the side of the home near the water faucet and run vertically up the exterior wall. Gravel will be used at the extraction point to support airflow beneath the foundation. Once installation is complete, follow-up radon testing will help confirm how effectively the system has reduced the indoor radon level.
