Before

Existing sump pump area in the unfinished basement prior to sealing improvements

After

Sump pump area sealed to help reduce potential radon entry beneath the basement floor

Before

The home tested at approximately 5.6 pCi/L and contained three separate foundation sections, an uncovered sump pit, and a water guard system that could contribute to radon entry into the lower level.

After (Planned Work)

A three-point radon mitigation system will be installed, the sump pit will be sealed with a custom cover, the water guard area will be encapsulated, and the system will be routed out the driveway side of the home to provide long-term radon reduction.

Before

The slab home had radon levels consistently above 4.0 pCi/L, with the highest readings occurring near the bedroom side of the house.

After

An exterior radon mitigation system was installed with horizontal piping routed into the slab area to improve airflow and reduce radon levels near the bedroom section of the home.

See the transformative impact of our radon mitigation efforts in a 1954 ranch-style home in Trumbull, CT. Starting with a high radon level of 9.6, we introduced enhancements including a two-pipe system upgrade and a new sump pump with a tailored cover to ensure optimal radon extraction. The after photos illustrate the precise integration of these components, significantly lowering radon levels and enhancing the safety of the home environment.

Before: Elevated radon level of 5.0 pCi/L, no prior mitigation.
After: One-pipe radon system installed on this cement foundation home built in 1946, using the existing sump pump setup for optimized sub-slab communication.
