In Waterbury, a homeowner elected to install a radon mitigation system after testing measured approximately 4.4 pCi/L. The family recently moved into the home about three months ago and wanted to proactively address indoor air quality concerns.

The home includes a concrete crawl space; however, the homeowner has chosen to hold off on incorporating the crawl space into the project at this time. A one-point radon mitigation system was recommended, with the extraction point located near the oil tank. The vent piping will be routed toward the rear of the home and exit near the oil fill location before continuing above the roofline. Once completed, the system will provide active radon reduction and long-term protection for the home.

A Continuous Radon Monitor (CRM) test was scheduled for a second-floor condominium in Waterbury to provide peace of mind for the family and better understand the indoor air quality within the unit. The testing was requested due to health concerns involving the homeowner's mother, and the family wanted to ensure radon levels were not contributing to any potential issues. Once testing is complete, the results will be reviewed and shared with the family to help them make informed decisions moving forward.

In Waterbury, we evaluated a home after radon testing measured approximately 6.7 pCi/L.

The homeowner purchased the property years ago and reported that previous radon testing showed acceptable levels. Recently, the basement was remodeled, and because the space is now used regularly as a work area, a trusted home inspector recommended updated testing. The new results revealed elevated radon levels, prompting a mitigation consultation.

The home consists of three foundation sections, including a crawl space, making a multi-point mitigation approach the best solution. A three-point radon mitigation system was designed to provide coverage across all foundation areas and improve sub-slab communication throughout the home.

The proposed layout includes one extraction point located behind the homeowner's desk, a second extraction point on the opposite side of the adjacent wall within the same foundation section, and a third extraction point within the crawl space. The system will be routed through the drop ceiling and vented along the right side of the house for a clean installation.

The home also contains a sump pump that currently requires a sealed cover. Properly sealing the sump pit will help eliminate a potential soil gas entry pathway and improve the overall effectiveness of the mitigation system.

The project focuses on protecting a frequently occupied basement workspace, improving indoor air quality, and reducing radon levels through a comprehensive multi-foundation mitigation design.

In Waterbury, a radon fan replacement was scheduled as part of the home sale process.

The property is currently under contract, and the replacement was requested to ensure the existing radon mitigation system is operating properly as the transaction moves forward. The work was coordinated through the listing agent, Andrea, to help address the radon-related item before closing.

The project involves replacing the existing radon fan with a new unit designed to restore proper system performance and maintain continuous airflow beneath the foundation. A properly functioning fan is the heart of an active radon mitigation system and plays a critical role in reducing radon levels within the home.

By completing the fan replacement, the system will continue to provide reliable operation and support a smooth home sale process.

The project focuses on restoring system performance and ensuring long-term radon protection for the future homeowner.

In Waterbury, we worked with homeowners who have lived in their home since 1993 and are preparing to begin remodeling work within the basement area.

Before starting the renovation project, the homeowners wanted to complete radon testing to better understand the indoor air quality conditions within the lower level of the home.

Testing before basement remodeling is an important step because finishing or updating lower-level living spaces can change how air moves throughout the home and may increase the amount of time spent in basement areas after construction is complete.

The visit focused on evaluating the basement space and preparing for radon testing to help the homeowners make informed decisions before beginning the remodeling project.

In Waterbury, we reviewed a raised ranch home involved in a real estate transaction where radon levels tested at 5.3 pCi/L.

Based on the layout of the home, the laundry room located toward the rear of the basement was identified as the preferred location for the radon mitigation system. This placement would allow for practical system routing while maintaining effective airflow beneath the foundation.

At this stage, the visit focused on planning and discussing system placement with the new homeowner prior to installation. Final layout details will be confirmed directly with the homeowner before moving forward.

In Waterbury, we worked with a daycare operating within a church basement where radon testing was needed to evaluate indoor air quality for the space.

Previous testing had been completed in May 2023, with radon levels measuring 4.0 pCi/L. The original air test was conducted in a storage closet area within the basement.

In addition to radon in air, concerns were also raised regarding radon in water from the kitchen sink, based on state testing information.

Because the basement is actively used as a daycare space, updated testing and monitoring are important to help ensure a safe environment for children, staff, and visitors.

In Waterbury, we worked on a home built in 1937 with a fieldstone foundation and slab configuration. Radon levels tested at 5.8 pCi/L, so a mitigation system was installed to address the issue.

A single-pipe radon mitigation system was placed in the front right corner of the basement/garage area. The layout was designed to keep the system as discreet as possible, with the piping positioned behind the structure to minimize visibility.

With no sump pump or existing drainage system in place, the installation focused on creating an effective suction point while working within the constraints of the home.

In this 1954 ranch-style home in Waterbury, CT, radon levels were a concern at 9 pCi/L. The home had no sump pump or water guard, which required a well-thought-out plan to reduce radon levels effectively. Our technicians implemented a two-pipe system, placing one pipe near the oil tank and the other at the front of the house. We exited the system on the right side of the home, away from the garage, for both function and visual appeal. The result: a durable, high-efficiency system that gives the homeowners peace of mind and cleaner air.

In Waterbury, the seller of a 1975 raised ranch needed to address a radon level of 7.7 before selling the home. Our team was tasked with installing a radon mitigation system efficiently using an eKey for home access, as no in-person meeting could be arranged. This project required careful planning to navigate the lack of a moisture guard, focusing on sealing techniques and strategic system placement to ensure effective radon reduction across the 1500 sq ft property.
