A homeowner in Bear, Delaware, contacted us to have her existing radon mitigation system inspected. She had been researching radon safety and best practices for mitigation systems and learned that the piping should be situated higher up and away from windows to ensure proper ventilation and compliance with safety standards. Upon arrival, our team of radon experts carefully examined the current system, including the placement and condition of the pipe. We discovered that the system did not meet the necessary safety and code requirements, with the piping located too close to the window and at an inappropriate height. This arrangement can pose risks, including the potential for radon gas to re-enter the home, compromising indoor air quality. Additionally, we found that the fan suction was reading too high, which can negatively impact the system's effectiveness and longevity. Excessive suction can lead to premature fan wear and tear, noise issues, and inefficiencies in radon mitigation. Based on our findings, we recommended replacing the existing radon system with a new, compliant setup. Our team proposed relocating the piping to a higher position away from the window to meet safety standards and ensure efficient ventilation. We also advised on choosing a fan with optimal suction levels to maintain effective radon reduction without overworking the system. By replacing the current system with an upgraded one, the homeowner can achieve better compliance, improve indoor air quality, and gain peace of mind knowing that the new setup is safer and more efficient. Our team offered guidance and support throughout the process, ensuring the homeowner had all the information needed to make informed decisions about her radon mitigation needs.
