Maine Radon & Environmental Case Studies: High Radon Levels in N Yarmouth
Challenge
We were recently contracted for radon testing and subsequent mitigation at a new construction community in North Yarmouth. Our first client tested his home and the results came back at 126 pCi/L which had him extremely concerned for his family's safety. This prompted two other neighbors to test their homes and they also came back above 200 pCi/L! All three clients were also very concerned with aesthetics, so we had to find the best solution for each client.
Solution
We were able to utilize the passive radon systems that were installed by the builders which led to an effective and aesthetic solution. All expansion joints and sump holes were sealed and the systems were up and running. We were able to achieve post mitigation test results of 1.3 pCi/L and ensure that all the families were happy and healthy!
