Photo Album: Radon Mitigation in Athens, Georgia

Future-Proofing with Fresh Air: A sharp Athens homebuyer wasn't leaving anything to chance when it came to tenant well-being. A radon test revealed a worrying level (7.5 pCi/L) during the purchase process. This savvy buyer immediately contacted Georgia Radon Defense for a solution. Recognizing the importance of clean air for their future tenants, they opted to install a mitigation system before anyone moved in. Speedy Service, Flexible Scheduling: Georgia Radon Defense responded quickly, providing a custom mitigation system quote. Understanding the advantage of minimal disruption, the plan involved installing the system after the closing while the unit remained vacant. Custom-Built System for Slab Foundation: Considering the slab foundation, Georgia Radon Defense designed a multi-pronged mitigation approach: Strategic Subterranean Network: A network of pipes will be strategically placed under the slab to effectively collect radon gas. Monitoring for Optimal Performance: A manometer will be installed to provide a visual indication of the fan's suction power, allowing for ongoing monitoring and adjustments (if needed) to ensure the system performs at its best. Sump Pump Synergy: The system will be designed to work seamlessly with any existing sump pump pit, guaranteeing both systems function flawlessly. Powerful, Discreet Venting: A strategically positioned, energy-efficient fan, housed discreetly (possibly in a closet as mentioned), will continuously draw radon gas and safely vent it outdoors through an exterior exit point. Minimally Disruptive Piping: The radon gas collection pipe will be routed through the least disruptive path, potentially running through a bedroom for optimal placement, before exiting discreetly outdoors. Peace of Mind from the Get-Go: By prioritizing a radon mitigation system early on, the buyer ensured a healthy living environment for future tenants right from the start. With the system installed and ready for tenant boxing-in, the buyer can relax knowing they've created a safe and healthy space for their future residents.
