Triangle Radon Defense Before & After Photos

When elevated radon was discovered in this Hillsborough home, there was an added reason to address it: the homeowner's child was now living in the basement.

Following our free onsite consultation, we developed a basement mitigation plan with two goals - reduce the radon effectively and keep the system as unobtrusive as possible.

The basement presented an installation challenge. The best location for our extraction point was inside a small utility closet that already contained several other home systems. Rather than taking the easier route and bringing piping into the finished portion of the basement, we carefully worked within the available space and kept the extraction point tucked away in the utility area.

We carried that same approach to the exterior installation, routing the radon vent pipe alongside the home's existing gutter downspout so the system would blend in rather than become a prominent feature on the house.

Follow-up testing showed a radon level of just 1.3 pCi/L.

Effective radon mitigation is important, but we believe the details matter too. Whenever possible, we design our systems to work with the home—not against it.

Before: Elevated radon levels were detected in Tom's home, creating concerns about long-term indoor air quality. After evaluating the basement, we identified an ideal location for a sub-slab depressurization system and designed a mitigation solution tailored to the home's construction.

After: Our team installed a basement extraction point and radon mitigation system designed to reduce radon intrusion beneath the slab and safely vent the soil gases above the roofline. With the system in place, Tom can now enjoy improved indoor air quality and greater peace of mind.

Jean recently purchased a home in Chapel Hill where elevated radon levels were discovered during inspection. Triangle Radon Defense was contacted to assess the property and provide a mitigation solution.

Due to the home’s complex foundation (two encapsulated crawl spaces and a basement) we designed a system with three suction points to effectively remove radon from all areas. To maintain the home’s appearance, the system was tied into a single fan with a clean, discreet exterior finish.

The result is an efficient and visually unobtrusive radon mitigation system that provides Jean and his family with peace of mind.

With a radon level of 6.0 pCi/L, these homeowners were ready to address the elevated radon in their home. But this wasn't a simple single-foundation installation.

The home included both a basement and an encapsulated crawl space, so our mitigation plan needed to address both areas.

We began with an extraction point through the basement floor near the laundry machines. We then continued the system into the crawl space and installed a second extraction point beneath the existing encapsulation barrier. This allowed the system to create depressurization beneath both portions of the home's foundation.

From there, the system exited through the foundation wall and was routed outside to terminate safely above the roofline.

The homeowners elected to complete their post-mitigation testing independently, so we don't have their final radon measurement.

Every home presents a different set of conditions. This installation demonstrates how a properly designed mitigation system can be adapted to address multiple foundation types while operating as one integrated system.

Stephan contacted Triangle Radon Defense to address elevated radon levels in his Chapel Hill home. After evaluating the basement layout, Michael designed a customized mitigation system to ensure optimal performance and efficiency. Our team completed the installation promptly on Stephan’s preferred date. With the system in place, Stephan and his wife can now enjoy peace of mind knowing their radon levels have been reduced and the air quality in their home has been improved.
