With a clear understanding of the situation, the homeowner readily accepted the free quote outlining the recommended course of action. Our team then began the installation process, using meticulous methods and high-quality materials. The customized system, designed specifically for the Hockessin home, typically included:
Meticulous Crack and Penetration Sealing: Our thorough inspection process identified and sealed any cracks or openings in the basement or crawlspace foundation, preventing future radon gas intrusion.
Sump Pump Pit Attention: As seen in the image, we consistently ensure that sump pump pits are tightly covered and sealed during inspections. These pits can be a significant source of radon gas if left unaddressed.
Strategic Pipe Placement: The radon pipe was meticulously installed throughout the basement or crawlspace, ensuring proper connection to the rest of the system and reaching the designated exit point outside the home.
Powerful Radon Fan Installation: A powerful yet energy-efficient radon fan was strategically placed within the system. This fan continuously draws radon gas from beneath the foundation and vents it safely outside the home.
Manometer Monitoring: A manometer was strategically placed within the system to provide a visual indication of the suction power created by the radon fan. This allows for ongoing monitoring and system optimization.
The Proof is in the Results:
Following installation, a follow-up radon test confirmed the system's effectiveness! The radon levels dropped significantly, providing the homeowner with immense satisfaction and peace of mind, knowing their family can breathe easy in a healthy haven.
