What Is The Mitigation Process Used By Radon Eliminator?

Installation the Right Way

It is easy to remediate your Radon gas problem, but it will require some work.

During the initial testing phase, we look at seven key points of Radon gas intrusion, and from there, we develop a plan of action based upon the particular needs of your home to handle the problem the right way. 

The first part of the Radon Removal process is to search for a quality suction point that will allow easy access, be aesthetically pleasing, and provide the best possible outcome for success.

Once we have the proper suction point, our team will begin drilling a 5" hole into the basement slab to deploy the Mitigation system.

After this, our contractor will decide how large the "communication pit" needs to be based on a soil sample and substrate material analysis.

This analysis is critical because the correct dimensions of the communication pit create the proper pathway to draw air from beneath the slab that directs Radon out of the house.

If the pit is too small, it will not have enough suction to draw out the Radon. 

Next, the contractor will begin analyzing an appropriate discharge point to exhaust the Radon Gas outside the home.

This part is essential to ensure that the radon is removed does not have the opportunity to re-enter the home due to a poorly routed Mitigation System.

After the appropriate discharge point has been identified and drilled out, we can begin the pipe fitting process.

The pipe fitting process begins with sealing the pipe base that goes directly into the ground. This will be done using a backer rod to fill the gap and finished with an industrial-grade caulk.

After the initial piping is set, the contractor will choose the right pipe pathway. Then, the Radon Eliminator team will connect the PVC pipes with a chemical welding agent to ensure no leaks in the piping system.

Then Your Radon Eliminator mitigation specialist will install the ventilation fan along the pipe pathway.

Installing the exhaust fan in the proper location is essential to make sure it has enough suction to pull the radioactive Radon Gas from beneath your basement floor all the way out of your home.

How Do You Know The Installation Process Worked? 

After the piping has been placed and all the other cracks and intrusion points have been filled, the contractor will install a system that will monitor and gauge the ventilation system to ensure it is working properly.

The last step for our Tallmadge Radon Mitigation team is to test the system's pull by drilling a small pilot hole in a different section of your floor.

Using a smoke pencil will ensure that smoke does not get drawn down into the basement. This will let you know that the suction is adequate for pulling Radon gas out of your home.

After the Radon Mitigation system is installed, it will run without any real maintenance or upkeep!

It feels good knowing you can breathe easier in your Tallmadge home that is now safe from high radioactive Radon Gas.
