All Mitigation Fans and installers are NOT CREATED EQUAL
A great quality fan needs to be installed per manufacture specifications,
equaling true lasting performance.
Only a handful of installers follow these recommendations written by
the manufacture. WHY?
It comes down to cost - installing the fan per manufacture specs
adds material, labor and time.
“Removing Steps” during installation reduces the total cost of the project.
With the correct installation, these fans are designed to last 15 years,
similar to a household appliance.
So get your mitigation system installed by a company with experience,
Integrity and guaranteed service.

Sump - Pit Depressurization System Dangers
Let me start out by saying that sump-pits are designed to remove the water
from the home and not designed for removal of Radon.
As a mitigator I installed one or two radon systems directly into the pit, after
those initial installations, I completely stopped installing directly into the pit.
Why? Let me give you a couple of reasons.
1. These pits are designed for removal of water, which includes a
pump at the bottom of the pit or well. If at any time that pump does not function the
entire basement can flood. If the radon system is connected into this pit it must be
disassembled to get at the pump. I have also found that plumbers will not reassemble
a radon system, if a pump needs replacing.
2. The plexi-glass cover that mitigators install over the pit, if a child were to step upon this type of cover
it would break under his or her weight. Creating a dangerous safety issue. Also the cover is sealed and any
other trade people accessing that pit would have to break the seal, in turn changing the dynamics of the radon
system.
3. Often the location of the sump-pit within the home is not a good location to install a radon system, under stairs, in a closet,
exposed corner, which would lead to more exposed piping in the home. Solution don’t access the pit.

Benefits of Sub - Membrane (crawl space) Depressurization Systems
Not only is radon exposure reduced in the home environment, but moisture related issues can be dramatically reduced.
Mold and mildew can be significantly and sometimes completely reduced in the crawl space.
Indoor air quality is better throughout the home.
The space above the membrane can be heated.
The venting to the exterior of the home in crawl space area can be closed or sealed. You are now venting below the membrane.
What happens with sub-membrane depressurization -
Piping is installed under the membrane, connected to a exterior depressurization fan system and then vented on exterior of home.
This barrier or membrane covering the dirt and piping is sealed to foundation walls.
The Fan System creates a depressurization under the membrane lowering the radon levels and moisture levels in the crawl space.

Adhering to these standards has a slightly higher cost, but my clients deserve the
peace of mind knowing the system is installed correctly.

Thomas’s extensive residential construction background, while serving the
community for over 22 years has a proven record for installing top quality
mitigation systems, and includes (my lifetime) installation guarantee.
The primary goal of a radon mitigation system is to reduce radon exposure
in the home to below 4 pCi/l (EPA recommendations) I guarantee 2.0 pCi/l or below
on perimeter drain depressurization installations.
All properties are different leading to a radon system
that is unique to each home.
For a radon system to be effective, aesthetically pleasing
and have positive results it must be designed for that home.
This is where experience, professionalism, and quality are key.
