Radon is a naturally occurring radioactive gas that can build up in homes, posing serious health risks like lung cancer. In this case, the customer in Canon City, CO, noticed elevated radon levels in their new construction home, mainly due to an open and unsealed sump lid, along with cracked expansion joints throughout the unfinished basement. They chose Purple Mountain Radon for their expertise in handling radon issues in new homes. To mitigate the risk, our team sealed the cracked joints with polyurethane caulk, installed an airtight sump lid, and routed the exhaust piping toward the rear of the home to effectively reduce radon levels.
Radon, a colorless and odorless gas, can pose serious health risks when it accumulates in your home, especially in basements where the air is often stagnant. In Colorado Springs, a homeowner with a basement office noticed high radon levels and decided to take action. Purple Mountain Radon was chosen for its expertise after the homeowner saw their neighbor’s successful radon mitigation installation using a perimeter drain system in the window wells. Our team installed a perimeter drain radon mitigation system through a window well and sealed the sump lid to create an airtight environment, maximizing the system’s effectiveness. For homeowners concerned about radon, taking action like this is a proactive step toward creating a healthier living space.
