Radon Gas Mitigation Photo Album: Radon Mitigation in Kalamazoo, MI 49007
Plaza Corp
This project details a successful radon mitigation project completed for a storefront building in downtown Kalamazoo, Michigan. The client, Plaza Corp., expressed concern about elevated radon levels in the basement, where their jewelers primarily worked.
Addressing Elevated Radon Levels
Pre-radon testing revealed levels of 5.4 pCi/L in the basement area, exceeding the EPA's recommended action level of 4.0 pCi/L. Since the jeweler's employees spent significant time in the basement, mitigating the radon gas was a top priority.
A Collaborative Approach for Optimal Results
While challenging, our team successfully completed the project with the help of additional contractors. Here's how we achieved a safe and effective solution, incorporating meticulous steps:
Manometer Monitoring: This initial step involved measuring pressure levels within the basement to identify the optimal location for radon extraction. This meticulous process ensured efficient radon removal.
Strategic Extraction Point: Utilizing expertise and the data from the manometer monitoring, we determined a single extraction point would effectively remove radon from the basement.
Strategic Pipe Placement: PVC piping was strategically routed from the designated extraction point in the basement, minimizing disruption to the storefront. This meticulous placement ensured efficient capture and removal of radon gas.
High-Performance Fan Installation: A powerful Radon Eagle Extreme Radon Fan was installed in the garage to efficiently remove radon gas from the building.
Safe Venting: The radon exhaust vented safely through the roof, ensuring no re-entry into the building.
Verification and Ongoing Monitoring
A post-radon test is currently underway to confirm successful mitigation. We will provide Plaza Corp. with the results once available.
