Radon Mitigation Before & After Photos

In Colorado Springs, CO 80907, a homeowner in a 1952-built house discovered elevated radon levels and knew action was needed to protect their indoor air quality. They chose Purple Mountain Radon for their trusted local expertise and proven solutions. Before mitigation, radon was entering the home through the crawlspace, creating potential long-term health concerns. Our team installed a RadonWell system inside the crawlspace, carefully designed to address the home’s construction and effectively redirect radon gas away from the living areas. After installation, the home now has significantly safer radon levels and improved peace of mind. If you live in an older home or have concerns about radon, contact Purple Mountain Radon today to schedule your assessment and take the first step toward a healthier home.

Purple Mountain Radon was called in for radon mitigation at a home in Colorado Springs, CO 80910, after homeowners noticed fluctuating radon levels, occasionally spiking above 4.0 pCi/L. Referred by friends who had previously worked with Purple Mountain Radon, the homeowner decided to proceed with mitigation. The split-level home had a garden-level basement with an adjacent crawlspace. The crawlspace had a vapor barrier, but it wasn't sealed properly. Our team sealed the vapor barrier to the walls, dug beneath the slab to create a suction pit, and connected it with perforated pipe under the vapor barrier. We then routed the system through the crawlspace wall and installed the radon fan and exhaust riser outside. Post-mitigation testing showed incredible results: the living room was measured at less than 0.7 pCi/L, and the garden-level basement was at just 0.8 pCi/L. If you’re concerned about fluctuating radon levels in your home, reach out to Purple Mountain Radon for a thorough mitigation solution.

Radon is a radioactive gas that naturally occurs in the soil and can seep into homes, increasing the risk of lung cancer, especially in areas with poor ventilation. In this project, Purple Mountain Radon addressed the high radon levels in a home in Colorado Springs, where the family had a newborn. The issue stemmed from exposed soil in an un-encapsulated crawlspace, which allowed radon to enter the home. The team encapsulated the crawlspace with a vapor barrier to meet radon mitigation standards and attached it to the radon system. The challenge arose when the homeowner requested part of the crawlspace to be used for storage, leading to the installation of a dimpled plastic drainage mat and a thicker 20mil vapor barrier for added protection and airflow. This solution not only met the radon standards but also provided a practical storage space for the homeowner. If you're concerned about radon in your home, let Purple Mountain Radon provide the solution to ensure your family's safety. Reach out today to schedule a consultation.

In Colorado Springs, CO, the homeowner recently moved in and wanted to reduce the radon levels in their home to ensure a safer living environment. After discovering an existing vapor barrier that wasn’t fully sealed, along with forced air furnaces located in the crawlspace, Purple Mountain Radon was called to address the issue. The team expertly sealed all gaps, posts, and footings, and added 375 feet of perforated pipe under the vapor barrier. A radon fan was then installed, with the customer requesting downspout material for the exhaust. Despite the challenge of working with a crawlspace just under 6,000 sq. ft., Purple Mountain Radon was able to effectively reduce the radon risk.
