Cheryl T. in Newry, Maine wanted to address radon concerns in both her air and water systems with a complete treatment approach designed for long-term protection. With a deep well and a unique property layout, careful planning was required to ensure both systems could be installed efficiently while accommodating existing utilities and site conditions.

For the water side, we installed an Airwell radon-in-water treatment system, helping remove radon before it enters the home's plumbing. At the homeowner's request, the Airwell wiring was left above ground to accommodate future preferences and site accessibility. Additional piping was installed to connect the system properly within the existing infrastructure.

For indoor air quality, we installed a sub-slab depressurization system featuring an RN2 radon fan along with a Blackout Package, providing a clean appearance and reliable performance. The extraction point was strategically located to avoid existing utilities, including a marked condensate line, while utilizing an existing pilot hole location to simplify installation.

Upon completion, both radon air and radon water test kits were left with the homeowner to verify system performance. Payment and project documentation were also completed.

Now Cheryl's home benefits from professional radon mitigation for both air and water, creating a comprehensive solution designed to improve indoor environmental quality and provide lasting peace of mind.

When radon is present in both air and water, addressing both sources together provides the most complete protection—and that's exactly what this Newry home now has.
