A recent radon test in a unique Portland, Maine, home revealed a level of 19 pCi/L, prompting the homeowner to contact Maine Radon & Water Treatment. Concerned about indoor air quality, she sought a solution to address potential radon exposure for her family.
This particular home presents some interesting features. The existing crawl space under the main floor is encapsulated but requires additional sealing with spray foam. Our team is prepared to tackle this challenge, ensuring a comprehensive mitigation strategy. The homeowner has also requested the exhaust for the system to exit through the rear left corner of the crawl space, maintaining a safe ten-foot distance from the propane tank. While the homeowner has provided an extension cord to power the system during installation, we can discuss alternative permanent electrical options.
Our team of certified radon mitigation specialists didn't hesitate. They proceeded with the installation of a radon mitigation system utilizing the sub-slab depressurization method. By implementing this radon mitigation system, Maine Radon & Water Treatment successfully reduced the homeowner's radon exposure. Our team did a post-installation test kit and the results came back at 1.2 pCi/L.
