In Trumbull, a homeowner elected to address radon levels after testing measured approximately 4.0 pCi/L. The home, originally built in 1945, consists primarily of one foundation area with an additional small concrete foundation section located on the opposite side of the basement.

To begin addressing the radon concerns, the homeowner chose to start with a one-point radon mitigation system. The extraction point will be installed within a storage closet, where the homeowner has agreed to remove shelving prior to installation to provide access and improve the appearance of the finished system.

The vent piping will be routed to the right rear corner of the home and positioned behind existing landscaping to help conceal the exterior components while maintaining effective system performance. The home does not contain a sump pump or water guard system, allowing the mitigation design to focus on sub-slab depressurization beneath the primary foundation area.

This approach is intended to provide effective radon reduction while preserving the home's appearance and allowing for future system expansion if additional foundation coverage is needed.

A Continuous Radon Monitor (CRM) test was scheduled for a home in Trumbull to measure current radon levels and provide an updated assessment of the home's indoor air quality. The testing will help determine whether radon mitigation may be recommended based on present-day conditions and provide the homeowner with accurate, reliable results.

As a courtesy service, a complimentary radon test was provided for a homeowner in Trumbull. The homeowner shared that the property was tested approximately three years ago and was informed at that time that a radon mitigation system would likely be needed. To better understand the home's current radon levels, a new test was conducted to provide updated information and help determine whether mitigation may still be recommended.

In Trumbull, a home was evaluated following radon testing that measured approximately 7 pCi/L.

The property is a colonial-style home with an unfinished basement, a concrete-floor crawl space, and an uncovered sump pump. These conditions can create multiple pathways for soil gases to enter the home, making a comprehensive mitigation approach important for long-term radon reduction.

The crawl space, although constructed with a concrete floor, will need to be considered as part of the overall system design to ensure proper pressure field communication throughout all foundation areas. Additionally, the uncovered sump pit represents a potential radon entry point and should be addressed during mitigation to improve system effectiveness.

Based on the information available, a mitigation system will be designed to serve both the main basement foundation and crawl space areas while incorporating a sealed sump cover to help prevent soil gas intrusion.

Because the initial consultation was completed remotely, final extraction point locations and installation details will be confirmed during the on-site visit.

The project focuses on reducing radon levels, addressing foundation entry points, and improving indoor air quality throughout the home.

In Trumbull, we evaluated a home built in 1979 after the homeowner continued to experience radon levels around 8 pCi/L despite having an existing mitigation system installed by another contractor.

The home includes three separate foundation sections: a main concrete foundation, a slab-on-grade section, and a crawl space. The property also has a sump pump and water management system, with the water guard already properly sealed.

The homeowner expressed concerns about the performance of the existing mitigation system and felt it was not adequately addressing the home's radon issues. Because radon levels remain above the homeowner's target range, a complete redesign of the mitigation strategy was recommended.

The plan includes removing the existing mitigation system and replacing it with a four-point extraction system designed to provide comprehensive coverage across all foundation sections. Two extraction points will serve the main foundation, one extraction point will address the slab section through the existing opening into the garage area, and a fourth extraction point will be installed within the crawl space.

The new system will utilize an interior pipe run through the garage and attic areas to create a cleaner appearance while improving airflow communication beneath all portions of the structure.

Following removal of the existing system, the basement penetration associated with the previous installation will be properly addressed, while the homeowner plans to complete repairs to the exterior opening left by the former system.

The project focuses on replacing an underperforming mitigation design with a comprehensive multi-point system intended to provide stronger sub-slab communication and improved long-term radon reduction throughout the home.

In Trumbull, we evaluated a home built in 1979 after radon levels tested at 7.9 pCi/L.

The homeowner had previously tested the property several years ago and already understood that mitigation improvements would eventually be needed to reduce long-term indoor radon exposure.

A one-pipe radon mitigation system was designed with placement planned near the basement window area to improve airflow beneath the slab while working within the existing basement layout.

The home uses a boiler and radiator heating system, which was considered during the planning process to maintain clean pipe routing and proper equipment placement throughout the utility area.

Additional testing performed in the room above the garage showed lower radon levels in that section of the home, helping provide a better understanding of how airflow conditions vary throughout the property.

The project focused on improving sub-slab airflow beneath the main foundation while creating a practical system layout that works within the existing structure.

In Trumbull, we evaluated a home built in 1952 after a recent inspection identified radon levels at 10.3 pCi/L.

To improve airflow beneath the foundation and strengthen overall radon reduction, a two-point extraction mitigation system was recommended. Multiple extraction locations were reviewed during the consultation, including the possibility of placing an additional extraction point near the center of the basement area to improve sub-slab communication.

The home also included existing unused penetrations through the siding from previous piping, which may be incorporated into the final vent routing design to help minimize additional exterior modifications and maintain a cleaner installation appearance.

During the consultation, future basement waterproofing considerations were also discussed. Potential sump pump placement areas were reviewed so any future water management improvements can work alongside the radon mitigation system layout if needed later on.

The project planning focused on balancing effective airflow coverage, practical pipe routing, and long-term flexibility for future foundation improvements.

In Trumbull, we evaluated an end-unit condo after radon levels tested at 4.8 pCi/L.

The condo, built in 2002, includes a partially unfinished basement area that provided a practical location for the mitigation system installation. A one-pipe radon mitigation system was planned within the unfinished section on the right side of the home when viewed from the front of the property.

The home does not include a sump pump or water management system, allowing the mitigation design to focus directly on improving airflow beneath the slab foundation.

The planned system layout was designed to provide effective radon reduction while working cleanly within the existing basement and garage access layout of the condo unit.

In Trumbull, we evaluated a radon mitigation system originally installed in 2005 after the homeowner reported that the fan had become noticeably louder over time.

As radon mitigation systems age, fan performance can gradually decline, and increased operational noise is often an early sign that service or replacement may be needed.

The visit focused on inspecting the existing fan and reviewing whether the issue could be addressed through service or if a replacement would provide the best long-term reliability and airflow performance.

Maintaining proper fan operation is important for keeping consistent suction beneath the foundation and supporting effective radon reduction throughout the home.

In Trumbull, we reviewed a home preparing for new tenants after radon levels tested at 4.3 pCi/L.

The homeowner wanted to address the radon levels before the property became occupied again, helping provide a healthier indoor environment for future residents.

Based on the layout of the home, the mitigation system design may require routing through sections of drywall to create the best path for airflow and exterior venting. Special attention was given to keeping the installation as clean and organized as possible throughout the process.

The visit focused on planning the system layout and preparing the home for mitigation ahead of the upcoming tenant move-in.

In Trumbull, we reviewed a Cape-style home with a radon level of 3.9 pCi/L as part of a property being prepared for sale. The home is owned as an investment property and is currently in transition.

Based on the layout and available information, a three-pipe radon mitigation system was recommended. The design includes coverage for the main basement, crawl space, and slab areas, with the system routed out the left side of the home.

An exterior review of the property was completed, and photos were taken to help plan the installation. Interior access was not available at the time, so final system placement will be confirmed once access is provided.

In Trumbull, we evaluated an existing radon mitigation system originally installed in 2011. The homeowner reported that the system did not appear to be running.

We walked through basic troubleshooting, including resetting the breaker and cycling the system on and off, but the fan did not respond. The manometer reading was at zero (“U” level), indicating that the system is not actively pulling air.

During the exterior inspection, a section of piping appeared to be partially disconnected, which may also be affecting system performance.

Based on these findings, a fan replacement is likely needed to restore proper operation. Once the system is functioning again, follow-up testing is recommended to confirm performance.

This historic home, built in the early 1900s, tested at a radon level of 11 pCi/L. A three-pipe mitigation system was installed, with two extraction points in the main foundation and one in the crawl space. The system was routed near the Bilco door, and cement work was completed to properly seal all extraction points, ensuring safe and effective radon venting.

For this 1955 Trumbull property with no sump pump and no water guard, the homeowners wanted a one‑pipe mitigation system but needed guidance on placement.

Two installation options were presented: one near the oil tank in the center of the basement, and another in the corner of the home.

After discussing layout, accessibility, and future use of the space, the homeowner selected Option 2, placing the system in the corner.

Arrival was scheduled after 8:30 AM to accommodate the family’s morning routine.

The system will be installed with the necessary routing and exterior exit suited to the chosen location, ensuring effective radon reduction while maintaining the functionality of the basement.

In Trumbull, the homeowner requested a radon mitigation system upgrade to improve airflow and add a more effective suction source. We began by addressing the system’s existing limitations: a 2-inch mitigation pipe that wasn’t pulling enough air volume.

To improve the system, we replaced the 2-inch pipe with a 3-inch pipe, allowing for significantly better suction and radon evacuation. Simultaneously, we added an extraction point inside a closet to target radon buildup from a specific zone within the home that previously lacked direct coverage. This newly added point connects seamlessly into the upgraded piping, ensuring balanced pressure throughout the system.

To finish, we securely capped the old 2-inch pipe, ensuring there would be no leakage or redundancy. This upgrade not only improves mitigation effectiveness but also prepares the home for long-term radon safety. The homeowner now has a streamlined, more powerful mitigation system ready for retesting.

A homeowner in Trumbull took the smart step of addressing radon levels (4.2 pCi/L) during their full-home renovation. Built in 1986 with a cement foundation and no sump pump, this house was a perfect candidate for a discreet one-pipe system.

Our team installed the system from the utility room, routing it internally through the house and out the roof, taking advantage of the open walls to hide piping cleanly and future-proof the installation. The result? Safe, breathable air and a radon system that blends seamlessly into the new interior.

In Trumbull, a homeowner contacted us regarding a radon fan that failed after just three years. The unit was originally installed by CT Basement Systems Radon, a company that has since gone out of business. This marked the fourth fan failure in 15 years — a strong indicator of a high water table potentially impacting fan longevity.

We provided the homeowner with two options:

• $185 Fan Service to inspect and possibly revive the unit

• $695 Full Fan Replacement for a more robust long-term solution

Our technician walked the client through both options while considering moisture-resistant alternatives to prevent future issues.

This Trumbull home, built in 1946, had a cement foundation and radon levels at 5.0 pCi/L—above the EPA action level. While the team did not perform a pre-install site visit, they arrived ready with a standard one-pipe mitigation plan. With a sump pump available to assist sub-slab airflow, the system was efficiently installed, bringing peace of mind to the homeowner.

In Trumbull, CT, our team tackled a complex radon mitigation job in a ranch-style home with three foundation zones. Radon levels were measured at 6.6 pCi/L, requiring a carefully designed three-pipe system for optimal draw. We sealed a series of floor cracks along a long interior hallway, secured one existing sump pit, and added a custom cover to the second. This project showcases our ability to manage multi-zone layouts while preserving home functionality and enhancing long-term safety.

In Trumbull, CT, a homeowner faced a challenging radon level of 9.6 in their 1954-built ranch-style home. To address this, our team redesigned the radon mitigation approach by adding a two-pipe system and installing a new sump pump equipped with a ⅓ horsepower motor and a customized cover. This tailored solution not only addressed the radon issue effectively but also integrated seamlessly with the home’s existing infrastructure, ensuring both efficacy and aesthetic preservation.

We recently had the privilege of designing and installing a custom radon mitigation system for a charming ranch-style home in Trumbull, Connecticut. Built in 1959, this 1,950 square-foot residence presented a unique set of challenges and opportunities for our team.   Project Overview: Home Style: Ranch, built in 1959 Size: 1,950 sq. ft. Location: Trumbull, CT Initial Radon Level: 5.8 pCi/L Mitigation Area: Includes a crawl space, sealed off without a sump pump, and featuring 2 sewer holes in the floor.   Mitigation Strategy: The project entailed sealing off the crawl space effectively and strategically placing the radon mitigation system to ensure optimal radon gas reduction. Given the structure of the home and the initial radon level of 5.8 pCi/L, our approach was meticulous and tailored to the home's specific needs.   The system's vent pipe was discreetly positioned to enter through a closet, pass through the garage, and exit up the right side of the house—when facing the home's front. This routing not only ensures efficiency in radon reduction but also maintains the aesthetic integrity of the property.   Outcome: This installation exemplifies our commitment to enhancing indoor air quality through innovative radon mitigation solutions. By addressing the home’s unique characteristics and the homeowner's specific concerns, we have significantly reduced the radon levels, ensuring a safer living environment for the occupants.   We are proud to contribute to the health and safety of the Trumbull community by providing effective radon mitigation services tailored to each home's unique structure and needs.
