Images of Radon Mitigation

These images will show you different ways to install a Radon Reduction system. The text should give you an idea of how we approach Radon Mitigation...
..... a creative process in which we'd like to involve the homeowner as much as possible (and most often they want to). To be creative means to find an organic way to add a pipe system to a structure - either inside or outside the building.

	A very well insulated crawl space of a new home. Unfortunately, no ventilation at all. Our system is routed through and leaves us with the option to include the crawl space in the future.
	Here we are outside at the other end of the pipe, the fan already installed, the exterior switch next to it and wired to the electrical system of the house.
	The extended pipe and the finished product.

	A system well tugged away under a porch in a walk-out basement.
	We had to do some tree climbing here- no ladder would fit...
	...it actually looked great!

	A basement of a 70 years old house and you don't know what to expect: gravel or clay... ...and there are big gaps that indicate that Radon is leaking everywhere.
	We are hiding the fan in the corner next to an entrance after cutting some bushes that will grow again during spring-time.
	...side view.

	An older home with a rocky basement, moisture and musky smell ...and there are big gaps that indicate that Radon is leaking everywhere.
	With a little more time and work the wall opening and the mounted fan are tugged away behind the bushes...
	...side view.

	A larger basement room ...>
	....requires long connections.
	Outside installation in older brickhome...
	with view of the fan.
	Two very high outside installations.

	Outside installation in walk-out basement ...
	with view of the fan.
	Nicely hidden from the front view behind the chimney.

	This was a challenge: no pipes or anything inside, every part of the installation had to be established from the outside. This suction hole is going through the footer underneath the house.
	Then, the exhaust had to go beyond the higest point of the house, usually we leave it at 1 foot above the roof line, 3 ft above or 10ft away from the next window.
	...it looked very neat!

	....a pilot hole through the basement wall of an older home: the beginning of an exterior installation.
	Drilling our suction hole in the basement slab revealed a little bid of gravel and a lot of dense clay...
	...overlaps are sealed... here we are installing a membrane in a crawlspace...

	Finished crawlspace: tarp is caulked and sealed against the wall. We use ducktape as a finish line ...
	Exterior installation under construction: wiring the fan
	Completed job.

	..another look at the side of the house, where we finished the installation.
	.. they all look very much the same...
	On the right you see the manometer which indicates the airflow and the overall performance of the system. It is not measuring the Radon level- only the airflow of the system.

	..a standard feature...
	.. at the side of the house...
	...that blends in with natural landscaping designs.
