Radon Information Before & After Photos

After installing a radon in air mitigation system, the client also wanted to ensure their water was safe from this dangerous gas.

A homeowner in Durham, Maine, reached out to Maine Radon & Water Treatment to improve their indoor water quality. We began with a thorough water quality test to determine the best approach. The results showed a radon level of 15,629 pCi/L, significantly higher than Maine's maximum exposure guideline of 4,000 pCi/L.

After evaluating the situation, we chose to install the ALRaider 321-S50X Radon in Water Removal System. RadonAway 321 AIRaider™ models combine spray and diffused bubble aeration to eliminate up to 95% of radon from water, including a built-in off delay for the aeration cycle. The system features an UL listed control panel, repressurization pump wire, mounted solenoid valves, ¾” Quick Connect plumbing connection, 2" x 3" flexible coupling, and an auto shutoff valve/alarm.

The result? Fresh, clean water straight from the tap every time. The client was there during the installation and was very pleased with how everything turned out.

A new homeowner in Saint George, Maine, contacted Maine Radon & Water Treatment with a proactive approach to their home's health. Prior to finalizing the purchase, they wanted to ensure the water quality – specifically regarding radon levels.

The initial water test results revealed a concerning radon level of 14,140 pCi/L, significantly exceeding Maine's safe limit of 4,000 pCi/L. Addressing this issue promptly was crucial to ensure a healthy living environment.

The homeowner actively participated throughout the installation process, which went smoothly. We installed an air well system to effectively mitigate the radon concerns.

The air well system is currently powered by an extension cord. To ensure a permanent and safe electrical connection, the homeowner is working with a licensed electrician to install a dedicated outlet. This collaborative approach prioritizes both system functionality and electrical safety.

The homeowner reported hearing the air well system functioning, indicating a successful initial operation. With the radon mitigation system in place, the homeowner can now move forward with peace of mind, knowing their new home offers a healthy environment.
