A customer contacted us in Wake County, North Carolina requesting radon mitigation. They had a radon test conducted that came back with levels in the unhealthy range. See the results below.
We highly recommend radon mitigation for levels above a 4.0 pCi/L. For levels between 2.0 and 4.0 PCi/L radon mitigation should still be considered. Throughout the year, radon levels can fluctuate and may be even higher than the test conducted.
To mitigate the radon in the most effective way we decided to install the system into the garage through an opening made in the foundation wall. This allowed radon to be pulled from a central location to be the most effective.
Next, we used schedule 40 PVC foam core pipe to discharge the radon above the roof line. This is the most effective and reliable piping. Lastly, an outlet was installed by our expert electrician to provide power for the system on a dedicated breaker.
Post mitigation testing was conducted and the levels were brought to below 1.0 pCi/L. See the test details below.
