Radon Mitigation Photo Album: Two-Point Radon Mitigation System Installed in Easton
This Easton home received a two-point radon mitigation system after readings ranged from 2.8 to 6.0 pCi/L. A Festa Hawk fan draws soil gases from beneath the foundation, where gravel is present, and vents them outdoors. The exterior piping is routed beside the HVAC units and up and over the tall roof. Follow-up testing can help determine how effectively the system reduces indoor radon levels.
Interior Extraction Point and Manometer
The interior piping connects to the foundation floor and runs vertically along the basement wall, with the manometer providing a visual indication of system vacuum.
Interior Piping Routed Along the Ceiling
The radon piping is routed beneath the basement ceiling and alongside existing ductwork to carry soil gases toward the exterior vent.
Interior Pipe Routing and Support
The interior piping follows the basement structure, with supported horizontal and vertical sections connecting the extraction point to the exterior system.
Exterior Venting Beside HVAC Equipment
The exterior radon piping is positioned alongside the home's HVAC equipment and routed upward along the outside wall.
Exterior Vent Stack Above the Roofline
The completed exterior vent stack extends up the tall wall and terminates above the roofline to discharge soil gases outdoors.
