Photo Album: Radon Mitigation in Byron Center, MI 49315
In Byron Center, MI, elevated radon levels in homes can pose serious health risks, as demonstrated by a recent case where levels reached 6.3 pCi/L. Understanding the potential dangers associated with prolonged exposure to radon, which is the second leading cause of lung cancer after smoking, the homeowner sought the expertise of ALS Radon for effective mitigation. The process began with the installation of two extraction points—one in the basement and another in the newly added crawlspace. These points were connected through a pipe that led to the garage and up into the attic, where a Festa radon fan was installed. This fan vented radon safely above the roofline, preventing it from re-entering the home. The outcome was impressive, with radon levels reduced to just 0.4 pCi/L, greatly minimizing health risks for the family. Below, you can view the before and after photos showcasing the successful installation of the radon depressurization system, emphasizing the importance of testing and taking necessary steps to ensure a safer home environment.
