Job Story Description
-
Why they needed a radon mitigation system:
An at-home radon test revealed extremely high levels, reaching as high as 24, which posed serious health risks if left unaddressed. -
Why the customer chose the company:
The homeowner trusted Maine Radon and Water Treatment (MR) for their proven experience, straightforward process, and ability to deliver effective solutions. -
What’s causing the problem:
Radon gas was entering the home through the sandy soil and foundation openings, seeping into the lower level and increasing indoor concentrations. -
How We Fixed the Problem (Mitigation Process):
-
Installed an RN2 radon fan strategically between the deck and doghouse to create proper system airflow.
-
Sealed a small opening near the corner of the foundation to eliminate radon entry points.
-
Connected the system above the drain in sandy soil for maximum efficiency.
-
Added a manometer to provide a clear visual check of system performance.
-
Left a test kit in place to monitor effectiveness post-installation.

What’s unique about this situation:
The setup required a careful placement between existing structures—the deck and the doghouse—to balance functionality with a discreet look, while also accommodating a nearby dehumidifier discharge line and electrical access.
