Radon Mitigation Before & After Photos

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.

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.

Working from a basement home office, this homeowner wanted peace of mind about indoor air quality. An open sump pit in the mechanical room was a potential entry point for radon, so they turned to Purple Mountain Radon for a reliable solution. To address the issue, the team sealed the sump lid and installed a water watch alarm for added protection. At the homeowner’s request, they also connected a mitigation system to the exterior perimeter drain through the window well, ensuring effective radon reduction. The results spoke for themselves—immediate improvement and a safer space to work. Looking to make your home healthier? Purple Mountain Radon has you covered.

In Colorado Springs, CO, a homeowner renting out their property wanted to reduce radon levels for the safety of their tenants. With radon readings at 7 pCi/L and the gas entering through a combination of the basement and an unsealed crawlspace, action was needed. They chose Purple Mountain Radon for their expertise in handling complex mitigation cases. The team first installed a gas mat on the crawlspace floor to improve airflow beneath a vapor barrier. The crawlspace was then fully encapsulated, covering the ground and lower foundation walls with a sealed plastic vapor barrier to prevent radon entry. A primary suction point was added in the basement slab, and the radon exhaust pipe connected through the crawlspace and out to the exterior, creating an effective system to reduce radon levels.
