Interior Radon System
Interior radon systems stand out as the top choice among homeowners that care about aesthetics and have a practical path for the system to run from their basement up through their roof.
To initiate the mitigation process, professionals drill through the lowest floor of the home, usually the basement or crawlspace. A PVC pipe is then installed, running from the base of the home and to the roof. Typically the piping will run through the garage as it leads into the attic. The strategic placement of the radon fan in the attic plays a crucial role in facilitating the process. The fan effectively pushes the harmful gas out through a designated pipe that leads to a roof vent.
Exterior Radon System
Exterior radon systems are the most common system available and offer a viable solution for homes where installing an interior system is impractical. This method involves a thorough process to effectively mitigate radon gas levels within the property. Initially, technicians drill through the lowest slab of the home to create an entry point for the system. The pipe is then strategically positioned on the exterior of the property, typically along the outer walls, to efficiently vent radon gas away from the living space.
Central to the functioning of an exterior radon system is the installation of a specialized radon fan. This fan works in sync with the piping to draw radon gas from beneath the property and expel it outdoors, preventing its accumulation inside. To seamlessly blend the system with the property's aesthetic, we offer landscaping techniques to camouflage the piping. Moreover, the pipe can be integrated with an aluminum downspout that complements the home's existing gutters.
