Maine Radon & Water Treatment Before & After Photos

Before:
This home in Gorham, Maine had an existing radon mitigation system that was no longer ideally located. The original setup needed to be removed and reconfigured to improve placement, safety, and appearance. The attic still had remnants of the old system, and one of the drainers was broken, requiring replacement.

After:
We successfully relocated the radon system using the existing stub-out, which allowed for an efficient and clean redesign. The new piping was routed to exit on the left-side gable end, installed near the hose bib and positioned approximately 10 feet from the propane tanks for proper clearance. The broken drainer was replaced, the old system components were fully removed, and the previous attic penetration was properly capped.

The finished installation blended well with the home’s exterior while improving functionality and compliance. Another system upgraded, another home protected, and another clean result in Gorham.

Before:
Brent’s home tested at 8.4 pCi/L, well above the EPA recommended action level. Referred to us by his daughter, he knew it was time to address the issue—but like many homeowners, he needed a solution that would work within the layout of his basement.

The system needed to be installed near the bilco doors, running from an existing stub and routed to the right of the doors near the electrical panel—a tighter space where proper planning makes all the difference.

During:
We installed a sub-slab depressurization system, adding a 50-foot extension to properly route the radon line while maintaining a clean and efficient setup. Every detail—from pipe placement to fan positioning—was done with performance and long-term reliability in mind.

After:
Brent’s radon levels are now within acceptable limits, giving him and his family confidence that the air in their home is safe.

From 8.4 pCi/L to safe levels—done right the first time.
Another Maine home protected. Another family breathing easier.

Matt F. in Gorham, Maine had basement radon levels test at 8.8 pCi/L, above the EPA recommended action level. With two sump pits in the basement, the project required a more customized approach to ensure the system would perform properly and the basement would remain protected long term.

One sump pit was located under the stairs near the oil tank, while the second was beneath the slop sink. The mitigation system was installed near the slop sink, closer to the basement door, using the nearby electrical source for a clean and efficient setup. Because Matt was in the process of installing new sump pumps, we coordinated the timing so the sump sealing work could be completed once those upgrades were finished.

After returning to seal the sump openings, we also inspected the fan after Matt noticed the manometer reading at zero while the fan was still running. Everything was checked over and confirmed to be operating properly.

Now the home has a professionally installed radon mitigation system, sealed sump areas, and the confidence that the basement air is being properly protected.

If your home has elevated radon levels or multiple sump pits that make the job more complex, Maine Radon & Water can design the right solution for your space.

Maddy C. in Gorham, Maine wanted to address elevated radon levels and ensure her home had a long-term solution for cleaner indoor air. After evaluating the home's foundation and sub-slab conditions, our team designed a mitigation system that would provide strong, consistent performance while fitting cleanly within the home's layout.

The installation included a sub-slab depressurization system with additional piping to optimize airflow beneath the foundation. During installation, we verified proper drainage, leveled the system components, and ensured positive slope on the condensate drain line for reliable operation. The area beneath the slab was found to be dry, providing excellent conditions for system performance.

The system was equipped with an RN2 fan, producing a manometer reading of 0.9, confirming strong suction beneath the slab. After installation, the system was fully reviewed with the homeowner, the work area was cleaned, and a follow-up test kit was left behind to verify results.

Now Maddy's home has a professionally installed radon mitigation system designed to provide continuous protection and long-term peace of mind.

Another Maine homeowner can breathe easier knowing their home is protected with a system built for performance, reliability, and safety.
