Before:
Radon Gas is an invisible, odorless, radioactive gas in soil and rocks as uranium decays overtime. When it decomposes it will travel through the dirt and seek any openings in the lower levels of the home. An open sump pit along with the underground tile running into the pit are very easy ways for the gas to enter the basement.
After:
Advanced Basement Systems installed one of their pump systems to seal the open pit and of course installed a radon mitigation fan and pipe with the project. The system can be designed incorporating surrounding obstacles in the home.
Get your home tested for Radon Gas levels and contact Advanced Basement Systems if the results are above safe levels. Call to find out more!
Before:
Radon Gas testing was conducted and the results were above safe limits. The home had a sump pump system with no lid at all, which is one area that radon gas is sure to come into a home! Note* Water powered backup pumps make having an airtight lid difficult.
After:
Advanced Basement Systems installed the proper radon mitigation system and sealed all openings in the basement foundation. A sealed sump system with a new, reliable battery backup was also installed.
Call Advanced Basement Systems if you would like to find out more information about Radon Gas testing and solutions.
Before:
Radon Gas is a naturally occurring, invisible, odourless, radioactive gas in soil and rocks as uranium decays overtime. When it decomposes it will travel through the dirt and seek any openings in the lower levels of the home. Its radioactive particles damage lung cells when inhaled over long term exposure and can cause lung cancer.
After:
Advanced Basement Systems is a certified Radon Gas Mitigation expert and will design a system to reduce radon entering your home.
If you are concerned about your long term exposed to Radon Gas, call Advanced Basement Systems to find out more.
Radon is a radioactive, colourless, odorless and tasteless noble gas, occurring naturally as the decay product of uranium in the soil. When it decays it will travel through the dirt and seek any openings in the lower levels of homes. There can be many openings in the basement of homes including floor and wall cracks, open sump pits, damaged floor drains or brittle mortar between blocks.
Repairing the openings is just one step to mitigate radon gas that is entering the basement. Once the area is sealed properly, Radon Gas venting should be added to protect the occupants. Advanced Basement Systems was called to do a complete mitigation system in this home. Fixing all the cracks then adding the vent system will reduce the Radon Gas Levels making the home safe to live in.
If you are worried about living with Radon Gas, call Advanced Basement Systems to protect yourself and your family.
