Radon Gas Mitigation Photo Album: Radon Mitigation in Battle Creek, Michigan 49017
Taking Action for a Healthy Home:
A health-conscious resident of Battle Creek, Michigan, Brandon, contacted ALS Radon & Environmental with concerns about potential radon gas exposure in his home. Prioritizing the well-being of his family, Brandon sought a professional assessment. Unfortunately, a comprehensive inspection revealed elevated radon levels exceeding the EPA's recommended action limit. This discovery highlighted a potential health risk, prompting the need for a radon mitigation system.
A Tailored Solution for Optimal Results:
ALS Radon & Environmental is committed to providing efficient and effective solutions tailored to each client's specific situation. Here's a breakdown of the steps we took to address Brandon's concerns:
Single Extraction Point System: Our team determined that a single extraction point system would effectively address the radon issue in Brandon's home. This system strategically utilizes a single point to capture radon gas from beneath the basement slab. A high-performance Festa Legend Radon Fan, known for its efficiency and quiet operation, was installed outside Brandon's home to safely vent the captured gas.
Strategic Placement Minimizes Disruption: To optimize radon removal and minimize disruption to living areas, the extraction point was meticulously placed within Brandon's basement, specifically between the washer and dryer.
Pre-Mitigation Levels:
Prior to system installation, radon levels in Brandon's basement were measured at 5.6 pCi/L, exceeding the EPA's recommended action limit of 4 pCi/L.
Powerful Radon Fan Installation
A high-performance radon fan was installed in a designated location, typically the attic or crawlspace. This fan creates continuous suction to safely vent the captured radon gas outside the home.
Strategic Pipe Placement
Our experienced technicians meticulously planned a network of pipes beneath the basement slab. This strategic placement ensures optimal capture of radon gas from the sub-slab area.
Manometer Monitoring
A manometer was strategically placed to continuously monitor the system's effectiveness in drawing radon gas out of the sub-slab area. This ongoing monitoring ensures the system is functioning optimally.
