How to prevent radon?

This is a 1 point system that will be exiting out of the sump and out throught the garage. Homeowner looking to have the stack run close to the corner of the house so it can tuck in behind the garage door that opens if possible. Then vent out through the back side of the roof. The team advised him that this would all be possible but we also need to have enough room to run pipe as well as add the fan. Client agreed and he will also be adding an ERV into the laundry room. Inlet for air will be in this room as there is a patio out back. Was up in the air on where they would like the exhaust to come out. Also looking to have air suction from inside the house to help with circulation. Radon levels were at a 30 so it was really suggested to mitigation. They were actually a super nice couple who were very understanding.

John did a great job with this exterior mitigation install. 

Basement Radon Mitigation System with Sump and Crack Sealing

This homeowner needed a radon mitigation solution for their basement, with the sump located in the southeast corner providing a practical exit point for the system on the east side of the home. As part of the project, the sump will be properly sealed to help prevent radon entry. Cracks along the west basement wall will also be sealed as an additional step in addressing potential radon entry points. With the mitigation system routed through the southeast area and the basement openings addressed, the project is designed to create a more effective approach to reducing radon exposure and improving indoor air quality.

This will be an interior system that will run out from the sump pit in the utility room. There is also a sewage pit that I explained to the client where we do not touch the interior system since it will run up through the rim joist and out into the garage. The client was asking if we would be able to hide the PVC routing and tuck it away on the wall side of where the fridge is. We can then write it up into the garage and out the back side of the house to hide the extraction point through the roof. A Breathe EZ filter will also be installed. This all stem from the fact that the client's husband was diagnosed with Stage 2 lung cancer which is what prompted their inquiry into radon mitigation in the first place. They live on an acreage with a couple horses and two cute little donkeys.

Radon Mitigation Piping Done Right!

This was a challenging project as the homeowner was very concerned about the placement of piping and trapping in current electrical and plumbing. For the sounds of things, he wanted to be hands-on during the installation process. We made sure it will be done to his satisfaction. Homeowner was supposed to pull some of the shelving away from the wall in order to allow us to run pipe and work in the area. We drafted and explained everything to him firsthand before starting - he agreed, and everything worked out fine. He really took the day off to give time for this!
