Photo Album: Basement Mitigation in Boise, ID

The client contacted Idaho Radon to address elevated radon levels in his basement.  Based on the size of the basement and uncertainty regarding the presence of a load-bearing footer — which could potentially interfere with suction point communication — it was initially anticipated that two mitigation systems might be required, one for each side of the basement.   After evaluating potential suction point locations, the client selected a position on the east end of the basement, which allowed for the future construction of a removablechase. This location was also chosen due to its proximity to the area most frequently occupied by family members. Following installation of the first mitigation system, radon levels were successfully reduced to an average below 2.5 pCi/L. Given the effectiveness of the system, the clientdetermined that a second system was unnecessary.
