Every family deserves a safe and healthy home. Radon, a naturally occurring gas, can seep into homes through foundation cracks, posing a health risk with long-term exposure. The EPA recommends mitigation systems to address this concern. Enter Nancy, a proactive homeowner in Mendon, Michigan. Upon learning about radon, she took immediate steps to protect her family's health. Step-by-Step to a Safer Home: Partnering with ALS Radon & Environmental Initial Contact and Inspection: Nancy contacted ALS Radon & Environmental, expressing concern about potential radon gas in her home. Our team promptly scheduled a thorough inspection of her Mendon property. During the inspection, our specialists addressed Nancy's concerns, meticulously evaluated the basement for potential radon entry points, and answered any questions she might have. Pre-Installation Testing and Transparency: Transparency is paramount at ALS Radon & Environmental. We believe informed decisions lead to the best solutions. Following the inspection, we conducted a pre-installation radon test using a professional testing kit. The results were clear: radon levels exceeded the EPA's action level, indicating the need for a mitigation system. We presented Nancy with the test results and a detailed explanation of their significance. Customized Mitigation Plan and Client Approval: Based on the inspection findings and test results, our team developed a customized mitigation plan specifically for Nancy's home. This plan outlined the recommended system design, including the placement of the radon pipe network and the powerful radon fan. We provided Nancy with a free and transparent quote detailing the entire process and associated costs. Impressed by our expertise, clear communication, and competitive pricing, Nancy readily accepted the proposal. Meticulous Installation with High-Quality Materials: Our certified radon mitigation specialists arrived at Nancy's home on the scheduled date and began the installation process. They meticulously followed the approved mitigation plan, utilizing high-quality materials for a long-lasting and effective system. This typically involves: Sealing Cracks and Entry Points: All identified cracks and gaps in the foundation and around the sump pump pit were meticulously sealed with a special sealant to prevent future radon gas intrusion. Strategic Pipe Placement: The radon pipe network 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. Post-Installation Testing and Peace of Mind: Following the installation, we conducted a post-radon test using a new kit to verify the system's effectiveness. The results were a resounding success! Radon levels dropped significantly below the EPA's action level, providing Nancy with immense peace of mind. Now, Nancy and her family can breathe easy in their safe haven, knowing they are protected from the harmful effects of radon gas. Nancy expressed immense satisfaction with the entire process, particularly impressed by ALS Radon & Environmental's expertise, clear communication, customer support, and commitment to her family's well-being.
