Before: The Stamford home, dating from the 1980s, initially tested for radon levels at 4.5 pCi/L, necessitating a mitigation solution despite the absence of sump pumps or visible cracks. After: Post-installation, the radon mitigation system, aligned with Option 2 from the planning clipboard, effectively reduced radon levels to below the EPA's recommended safety threshold. The installation was seamlessly integrated with the home's existing layout, ensuring that no structural modifications were necessary, thus preserving the integrity and appearance of the property.

Before and after views of our radon mitigation efforts in a Stamford home that's gearing up for sale. Facing a high radon level of 10 in a house built in 1971, we installed the system discreetly near the sump pump in the finished basement. Our after photos demonstrate the seamless integration of safety enhancements tailored to ensure the new homeowners can enjoy a healthy, radon-free environment.

Before:
The home had no radon system in place and tested between 4–5 pCi/L, with no sump or water drainage infrastructure available.

 

After:
A two-pipe system was installed—one for the foundation and another for the slab—strategically placed and routed out through the left side of the house. The result: effective radon mitigation with no unnecessary cosmetic disruption.

Explore the significant impact of our radon mitigation efforts in a split-level Stamford home through our before and after gallery. Facing a radon level of 7.4, we implemented a two-pipe system that effectively reduces radon levels by drawing radon from both the slab and the unfinished basement. After photos illustrate the discreet external piping installation around the fireplace and ascending the home's peak, showcasing our ability to enhance safety without compromising the home's aesthetic.

The radon level measured 5.1 pCi/L, which is slightly above EPA action level.

 

A single-pipe system will be installed to mitigate radon to safe levels. The system will use standard 3” Schedule 40 PVC routed from the foundation slab up through the side of the home or attic, depending on structural layout and power access.

Before photos will capture the foundation area prior to drilling, and external areas for pipe exit, while after photos will show the sealed suction point, fan placement, and final exterior vent termination. Due to the Cape style and small footprint, routing is expected to be direct and clean.
