Radon Mitigation system installation - Smith Falls

Challenge

Homeowner in Smith Falls, Ontario

Issue: Elevated radon levels posing a health risk.

Solution: Sub Slab depressurization radon mitigation system.

A home owner in Smith Falls, Ontario reached out to us after conducting a radon test and discovering that their home had elevated radon levels above Health Canada's recommended guidelines. Concerned about the long term health risk, they sought out a professional radon mitigation solution to ensure their home was safe for their family.

The home had a poured concrete basement slab with minor foundation cracks, which were potential entry points for radon gas. The main challenge was identifying an optimal suction point for the system that would provide efficient coverage while minimizing disruption to the home owner's space.

Solution

To effectively reduce radon levels, we installed a sub slab depressurization system, which is the most effective method for radon mitigation in Homes with basement slabs. The install included

• Suction point creation: Drilled a small hole into the basement slab to create a suction point for extracting radon gas.
• PVC piping system: installed a network of sealed PVC pipes to safely channel radon gas from beneath the home.
• radon mitigation fan: Mounted an exterior fan to create negative pressure, pulling radon gas from the soil and venting it safely above the home's roofline.
• sealing foundation cracks: Sealed visible cracks and potential radon entry points to enhance the systems effectiveness.

Following the installation, the radon levels in the home were significantly reduced, ensuring a safer living environment for the homeowner and their family. They were extremely satisfied with the quick, professional installation and the peace of mind knowing their home was now protected from radon exposure.

this project in smith falls highlights the importance of radon testing and mitigation. If left untreated radon can pose a serious health risk, but with the right system in place the homeowners can breath easy and knowing their indoor air is safe.
