Why they needed a radon mitigation system:
The homeowner was concerned about the health risks of radon exposure after a professional radon test showed a level of 3.48 pCi/L—just above the EPA's recommended action level. -
Why the customer chose the company:
They selected Lawson Home Services for their solid reputation and proven experience in radon mitigation solutions that are both effective and discreet. -
What's causing the problem:
Radon gas was entering the home from beneath the foundation, likely through cracks and openings in the slab, with the sump pit and drain tile system potentially contributing to the gas movement. -
How We Fixed the Problem (Mitigation Process):
-
A radon mitigation system was designed to work with the home’s existing structure, which was built in 2016.
-
The team utilized the sump pit and connected it to the exterior drain tile, providing a direct path for radon to be drawn out.
-
A radon fan was installed to create consistent suction beneath the slab.
-
A manometer was added for easy system monitoring and to ensure proper fan operation.
-
The system was tested to confirm that radon levels had been effectively reduced.

What's unique about this situation:
With no crawlspaces and a relatively new home, the installation required thoughtful integration with the sump system to avoid unnecessary disruption while still achieving effective results.
