Maine Radon & Environmental got called in to install a radon mitigation system in a home over in Biddeford, Maine. The homeowners had already tested for radon and knew they needed some help. We had a chat about it all, and they liked our plan and how we'd do it. After we got everything set up, the radon levels went down to safe levels. Another happy family taken care of!
Maine Radon & Water Treatment responded to a call concerning elevated radon levels at a property in Windham, ME. We arranged a complimentary consultation, during which we assessed the property's requirements and optimal placement for the system. We installed two separate systems; one in front of the bedroom closet and one in the kitchen closet. The discharge was placed to the roof and the garage. The clients were thrilled with our choice of location. It's another success story, and we're thrilled to have another satisfied client!
Windham Homeowner Prioritizes Quiet Radon Mitigation
A homeowner in Windham, Maine contacted Maine Radon & Water Treatment to activate an existing passive radon system. Their top priority was minimizing noise from the new radon fan.
Collaborative Planning and System Activation
The homeowner requested the quietest possible fan option. We would work together to determine the most suitable model while ensuring compatibility with the existing system.
Adapting to Existing System Challenges
While most of the radon piping was encased in drywall, access points existed above a drop ceiling. This would allow for the installation of a manometer, a crucial tool for measuring system effectiveness.
The project also involved careful handling of the existing piping due to a history of roof leaks.
Peace of Mind with Quiet, Effective Radon Mitigation
Through this collaborative approach, we would activate the existing passive system with a quiet, premium radon fan. This would significantly reduce radon levels in the homeowner's Windham residence, ensuring a healthier and more comfortable living environment.
Windham Condo Resident Takes Action on Potential Radon
A resident in a Windham, Maine condo building contacted Maine Radon & Water Treatment due to concerns about radon gas. They suspect a passive radon system might already be present in their unit (one of two within the building, with separate basements for each). This proactive approach was prompted by ongoing basement work in their neighbor's unit. The resident is interested in both testing and mitigation, with a preference for a quiet solution.
Initial Test Reveals Elevated Levels:
An initial test conducted by Maine Radon & Water Treatment revealed a radon level of 60.3 pCi/L, exceeding the EPA's recommended action level of 4 pCi/L. This indicates the need for mitigation to ensure a healthy living environment.
Addressing the Neighbor's Interest:
The neighbor's interest in testing and mitigation is commendable. Once they're ready, we can extend our expertise to assess their unit's specific needs and provide tailored testing and mitigation solutions.
