The Radon Eliminator team is licensed with The Ohio Department of Health and will complete your installation by doing the following:

1. The installation process begins by locating a suction point that is easy to access and has the best outcome for the system's success.

2. When the suction point is located, the technician will drill a 5" hole in the sub-slab of the basement. Your technicians will use the hole to deploy the mitigation system.

It's essential to get the dimensions of the hole correct. Otherwise, there may not be enough suction to remove the gas from the house.

3. The technician will then decide where the best location for the discharge point will be to exhaust the gas.

When making this decision, the specialist will need to make sure that they choose a location where the gas will not have the opportunity to re-enter the home.

4. Once the discharge point has been located; the pipe fitting process can begin. The pipe base that goes directly into the ground will be sealed.

Using a backer rod to fill the spatial gap, this is finished with an industrial-grade caulk.

5. After the piping is set, you and your technician will decide the pipe pathway for exiting the home. A chemical welding agent will connect the PVC piping to ensure no leaks in the piping system.

6. Finally, your Radon Eliminator mitigation specialist can install the ventilation fan along with the pipe pathway. The exhaust fan can either be connected to the outside of the home or, in some cases, placed inside the garage attic.

The ventilation fan is used to draw the radon from beneath the sub-slab of the basement, through the piping system, and out into the atmosphere.

How Will You Know If The Mitigation Installation Worked?

After the installation, the specialist will leave a radon test in the home's basement for a minimum of 72 hours to collect data.

When they return for the test, they will tell you the new radon levels in the home. If, for some reason, the levels have not been reduced below the EPA recommended action level, the specialist will return at no additional cost to you and do whatever needs to be done to ensure that the levels drop.
