From 63 pCi/L to a Safer Home: Reviving Radon Protection in Gorham, ME

Tom B. in Gorham, Maine discovered radon levels of 63 pCi/L, an extremely elevated reading more than 15 times the EPA recommended action level. While the home already had a passive radon pipe dating back to the 1990s, the existing configuration was not suitable for an effective activation and could not be utilized as part of the new mitigation design.

After evaluating the layout, our team developed a new plan using the existing stub-out beneath the slab as the primary extraction point. The old passive piping was cut and abandoned, and a new mitigation system was routed from the stub toward the electrical panel area before venting safely through the gable end of the home. With electrical located nearby, the installation was efficient while still providing the strong suction needed to address such a high radon level.

The system was designed as a complete sub-slab depressurization system, creating continuous negative pressure beneath the foundation and safely venting radon gas above the home before it can enter the living space.

Projects like Tom's are a reminder that older passive systems are not always the best solution. Sometimes the most effective approach is starting fresh with a modern design built around today's mitigation standards.

From 63 pCi/L to a home protected by a professionally designed radon mitigation system, another Maine family can breathe easier knowing their indoor air is safer.

 
 

Radon Mitigation for Brent J. in Gorham, ME

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.

Maine Radon & Environmental was called to this Saco Maine property when high radon levels were detected during the home inspection. No problem we have this. We installed a premium system to address their concerns. Now they can breathe safe again 

Saco, ME

Client was looking for an installation to last - we installed a traditional sub-slab mitigation system with a fan moisture guard kit. This elevates our warranty to 10 years, so you can live worry free for longer.
