What is the Process for Installing a Mitigation System?

Installation Performed the Right Way

Hiring a licensed professional to complete the job is essential when you need a Radon Mitigation System installed.

Some rules and regulations need following when installing a system. It's essential to have a professional install your system who will make sure your system is up-to-code.

1. The installation process begins when the specialist finds a quality suction point that will allow easy access, is aesthetically pleasing, and provides the best possible outcome for success.

2. The technician will then drill a 5" hole in the sub-slab of the basement to deploy the mitigation system.

When the hole has been drilled, the specialist will decide how large to make the "communication pit."

If the pit dimensions are wrong, there may not be enough suction to draw the gas from beneath the sub-slab of the home and out into the atmosphere.

3. When the communication pit is finished, the contractor will decide the best location for the discharge point. The discharge point is where the radon gas will be exhausted from the house.

The pits' location must be chosen correctly, so the gas does not have a chance to re-enter the home.

4. After the discharge point has been identified. The technician can begin the pipe fitting process. This process is begun by sealing the pipe base that goes directly into the ground.

The technician can use a backer rod to fill the spatial gap and finish with an industrial-grade caulk.

5. When the piping is set, the specialist will need to choose the pipe pathway. They will use a chemical welding agent to connect the PVC piping and ensure no leaks in the piping system.

6. The last step is for the ventilation fan to be placed along the pipe pathway. Your Radon Eliminator specialist can connect the fan to the outside of the home or, in some cases, in the garage attic.

The ventilation fan is what is used to remove the radon from beneath the home.

How Will You Know If The Mitigation Was a Success?
