Photo Album: Radon Mitigation in Dowagiac, Michigan

Unseen threats can lurk beneath our feet. Mary, a homeowner in Dowagiac, Michigan, discovered concerning radon gas levels in her basement. This naturally occurring gas can seep into homes through cracks, posing a health risk over time. Testing confirmed levels exceeding safe limits in Mary's home, prompting action. Investing in Peace of Mind: Taking a proactive approach to your family's health is an investment that pays off. Compared to potential future medical expenses, radon mitigation is a relatively small cost that can ensure a safe and healthy living environment. Inspired by this notion, Mary contacted ALS Radon & Environmental after learning about the dangers of radon gas. This commitment to creating a healthy home is what truly matters. Prompt Action and Customized Solution: Impressed by our expertise and transparent pricing, Mary readily accepted the proposal. Our certified radon mitigation specialists then scheduled a convenient on-site visit and proceeded with the installation. This comprehensive process included: Meticulous Sealing: All cracks and gaps identified during the inspection were meticulously sealed with a special sealant to prevent future radon gas intrusion. This included any cracks around the sump pump pit (if present). Strategic Pipe Placement: The radon pipe was meticulously installed throughout the basement, 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. Verification and Lasting Peace of Mind: Following installation, we conducted a post-radon test using a new kit to confirm the system's effectiveness. The results were a resounding success, with radon levels dropping significantly. This measurable outcome provided Mary with lasting peace of mind, knowing her family is now protected from the harmful effects of radon gas. Mary expressed immense satisfaction with the entire process, particularly impressed by ALS Radon & Environmental's expertise, customer support, and clear communication.
