Full Mitigation(BestValue)
Full mitigation systems are complete systems that only need to be plugged in when home construction is finished. A full mitigation radon ready system consists of a dedicated PVC pipe that is run from the mechanical room through the roof. This pipe is installed within the walls after framing is complete but prior to drywall being hung so that the system is not visible outside of unfinished areas. Once the pipe is in the attic, the radon fan is attached per code. The fan should never be placed in a conditioned living space such as the basement or under the stairs. The home builder should have their licensed electrician place an electrical outlet in the attic to be able to plug the fan into post construction. These systems also include a clear acrylic lid (with a clean out port for easy access to be able to service your sump bucket) to seal the sump bucket, as well as a manometer so that the home owner can monitor the pressure reading of the fan. The sump lid can also accommodate a sump pump as well.
One post construction test is included upon request.
Radon Ready
A radon ready system consists of a dedicated PVC pipe that is run from the mechanical room through the roof. This pipe is installed within the walls after framing is complete but prior to drywall being hung so that the system is not visible outside of unfinished areas. These systems are capped both above the roof and in the mechanical room to prevent water from entering the home. No fan, no sump seal, and no post construction test is included with this option.
In the case of high radon levels, the system can easily be converted to an active mitigation system for an additional cost. Once the radon system is installed, one post test is included.
