From Passive to Powered: Radon Safety in Wallingford
Before: A suspected passive radon system was in place, but no active fan or mitigation power source was verified. The radon level had reached 5.1 pCi/L, just above the EPA’s action threshold.
After: We assessed the system, confirmed the passive layout, and converted it into an active mitigation system to guarantee proper airflow and reduce radon levels. A smooth upgrade—no delays, no disruptions, and full peace of mind for the incoming buyer.
From Exposure to Encapsulated - A Two-Pipe Solution
With radon levels testing at 7.0 pCi/L, the home required a two-pipe system to effectively mitigate.
The current crawl space was previously unsealed and will be fully encapsulated during this job.
The homeowner also mentioned concern about a neighbor’s loud radon system, prompting us to ensure quiet system operation, likely with a better muffler solution or insulation.
After install, the radon system will route pipes strategically, with quiet airflow management and sealed sump or vent exits if present.
The before photos will show the unsealed dirt crawl space, and after photos will document the sealed environment and the full mitigation system in place.
Before & After: Crawl Space Encapsulation and Full Radon Protection

-
Three unsealed foundations
After:
-
Crawl space now encapsulated
-
Sump pump hole sealed with cover

Radon Reduction in a Branford Split-Level
Before our visit, the home had no existing mitigation and was registering high radon levels. After assessing the layout, we installed a two-pipe system with careful consideration for aesthetics and airflow. The laundry room and closet were selected for internal access points, minimizing disruption. Despite thick shrubbery on the exterior, the final install was tidy and efficient—leaving the home safer and ready for long-term occupancy.
