The Scenario: Daphne, concerned about her family's well-being, contacted ALS Radon & Environmental after a test revealed high radon levels (10 pCi/L) in her home. This level significantly exceeds the EPA's recommended action limit of 4 pCi/L. What is Radon? Radon is a naturally occurring radioactive gas that can seep into homes through cracks in the foundation, crawlspaces, or slab foundations. Long-term exposure to elevated radon levels is a health risk. The Challenge: Daphne's home presented a unique challenge for radon mitigation. It combined a slab area, a basement, and crawlspaces. A single mitigation approach might not effectively address all areas. Customized Solution: ALS Radon & Environmental's experienced team devised a multi-point mitigation system tailored to Daphne's specific needs: Extraction Point Placement: To minimize disruption to living areas, one extraction point was discreetly placed within a closet on the slab foundation. Strategic Pipe Network: A network of pipes efficiently routed the collected radon gas from the slab area to the garage and then up to the crawlspaces. This ensures comprehensive removal from all affected areas. Effective Fan System: The system utilized three extraction points connected to a powerful yet quiet Festa Legend Radon Fan located outside the home. This ensures efficient gas removal without creating noise disturbances. Additional Features: For added peace of mind, all ALS Radon & Environmental systems come equipped with: Muffler: This minimizes noise generated by the fan system, ensuring a quiet and comfortable living environment. 10-Year Warranty: The extended warranty provides long-term protection and ensures the system's continued effectiveness. The Outcome: By implementing a customized and effective radon mitigation system, ALS Radon & Environmental significantly reduced radon levels in Daphne's home. This proactive approach safeguards Daphne's family's health and creates a safer living environment. Key Takeaways: This case study demonstrates the importance of radon testing and the effectiveness of customized mitigation systems in addressing unique home layouts. If you suspect elevated radon levels in your home, consider contacting a qualified radon mitigation company for a professional assessment and solution.
