Radon Gas Mitigation Photo Album: Radon Mitigation System Installed to Protect Families Health in NW Calgary, AB
This homeowner in Calgary, Alberta contacted us concerned about high levels of Radon Gas found in the home. Radon is a naturally occurring radioactive gas that has become the second-leading cause of lung cancer, second only to cigarette smoke. Most soils contain uranium that, over time, decays to produce radium and polonium. Eventually, polonium is released with the radon, which creates a high toxicity level in the air and water that it infuses. In search for a Mitigation System the homeowner contacted the experts at Doug Lacey's Basement Systems.
A System Design Specialist was able to visit the residence, assess the situation, and provide the homeowners with a FREE, no obligation quote. A Radon Mitigation Specialist then went to the home to install a sub-slab Radon Gas Mitigation System which draws the gas from beneath the basement floor slab and vent it outside of the home. The system was tied into the existing Sump Pump that was already installed into the basement floor so then we did not have to core a hole for the radon system to be installed. As you can tell in the photos, we came up with a way to discharge the Radon Gas outside out of plain side by going under the deck boards! Not only was a new Radon Mitigation System Installed, it was also installed out of plain site!
