This property is not yet at the installation stage, so there is no "after" yet—but this is a perfect case where pre-planning is key. The contractor, Adrian Dognin, explained that part of the house has been gutted to the studs, while another section (with a crawlspace underneath) remains intact. Radon levels have reportedly tested high, though exact numbers are not available, and Adrian suspects that testing may not have included the crawlspace.
The home is currently being renovated as part of a sale process, though the homeowner, Lynne, has not yet set a closing date. She is working closely with Adrian to prepare the property for safe occupancy or transfer. This consultation is meant to assess the entire property thoroughly and plan a future system that accounts for both slab and crawlspace areas.
Before: Concerns about radon safety in a Wilton home prompted the need for a tailored mitigation solution. The initial setup lacked the comprehensive coverage needed for the size and design of the home.
After: Post-installation, the Wilton home features a radon mitigation system that not only ensures safety with significantly reduced radon levels but also blends seamlessly with the home's architecture. The system's vent is cleverly integrated with existing downspouts, and the fan is concealed within a decorative lattice fence, ensuring that both safety and aesthetic needs are met.
Before: The home had no radon system installed, and the crawl space had exposed areas needing concrete coverage. After: A two-pipe system was carefully installed, including strategic work in the crawl space. Pipes exit discreetly near the stairwell, ensuring both functionality and curb appeal. The setup is now sealed and efficient.
Streamlined Safety Transformation in New Preston Marble Dale
Before: The home in New Preston Marble Dale lacked a comprehensive radon mitigation system, posing health risks despite having a sealed sump pump in place.
After: With the new system now operational, the home benefits from reduced radon levels, with all equipment tastefully hidden within a coat closet. This setup preserves the home's aesthetic while ensuring the environment is safe for its occupants. The external aspects of the system were designed to be unobtrusive, maintaining the home's exterior charm.
Enhancing Air Quality with a Noise-Sensitive Solution in New Milford
Before: The semi-finished basement of a 1998 Saltbox Colonial in New Milford tested at a radon level of 5.2 pCi/L, prompting the need for a mitigation system that would not disrupt the quiet residential environment.
After: With the installation of a specially selected quiet radon mitigation fan, and the option to add a muffler, the system effectively reduced radon levels to well below the EPA's action level. The installation was completed seamlessly, ensuring minimal noise impact, which was a critical requirement for the homeowner's comfort.
