Radon Gas Mitigation Photo Album: Water Leakage and Radon Levels Mitigated in Foothills, AB
This homeowner in the Foothills of 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 of the best quote for repair and to protect their health & home, the homeowners contacted the experts at Doug Lacey's Basement Systems.
A System Design Specialist went to the home and provided the homeowner with a FREE, no obligation quote designed specific to address all of their concerns. Upon the first inspection our System Design Specialist found some water damage and suggested they also have a Sump pump installed. From there our Radon Mitigation Specialist was able 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.
A SuperSump® sump pump system was also installed with the Radon Gas Mitigation System. A full-featured system, SuperSump® includes the best components available including a top-rated 1/3HP Zoeller® pump which is designed for reliability & high-volume pumping. We call this combo our "SuperSafe Mitigation System"
This home is now protected from high levels of Radon Gas as well as has water seepage with the new Sump pump installed.
"SuperSafe System"
The Radon system was installed directly into the SuperSump Basin.
Interior Discharge
The Radon discharge line will go all the way to the exterior of the home through the foundation wall
