A homeowner in South Portland, Maine reached out to Maine Radon & Water Treatment to request a mitigation quote. He was concerned with the indoor air quality of his home and radon exposure.

We then had a site visit to check the best approach where to install the mitigation system. This was a bit tricky as the client wants to install it on the left side of the basement where there's a small pool on the exterior. Installation of the radon gas mitigation system went well and the client was very satisfied with the outcome. Results came back with a safe radon level.

A South Portland, Maine homeowner recently discovered a concerning level of radon in their home. This alarming discovery highlighted the importance of radon testing and the potential health risks associated with prolonged exposure to this colorless, odorless gas.
Radon is a serious threat to indoor air quality. It’s the leading cause of lung cancer among non-smokers, according to the EPA. With levels significantly exceeding the EPA’s action level of 4 pCi/L, the homeowner was understandably worried about their family’s health.
At Maine Radon & Water Treatment, we prioritize the well-being of our clients. Our team quickly responded to the homeowner's concerns with a comprehensive inspection and a detailed quote for a radon mitigation system.
We determined that a sub-slab depressurization (SSD) system was the most effective solution for this home. This system involves installing a suction pipe beneath the basement floor and connecting it to a powerful fan that vents radon gas safely outdoors. Additionally, we ensured the proper sealing of the sump pump to prevent additional radon infiltration.
Following the installation, we conducted a follow-up radon test to verify the system’s effectiveness. The results were impressive: the radon level had dropped to a safe 1.8 pCi/L. The homeowner now enjoys peace of mind knowing their family is protected from the dangers of radon.
