The crawl space before was exposed which is one of the more common ways radon can seep into the home through the crawl space.
The team installs drainage matting for various reasons, one being that it provides a nice cushion in accessing the crawl space.
The team secures CleanSpace to the top of the crawl space wall to begin the encapsulation process.
With Drainage Matting installed, now water can flow easily under the matting which is made up of a dimpled polyethylene membrane.
The team locates the ideal location of the outside radon mitigation fan.
The team begins by drilling a hole and connecting pvc pipes that are constructed underneath the home to extract radon before it can enter the home.
The radon mitigation fan acts as a vacuum that pulls radon from the source out of the home and carries through pvc pipes that are constructed to release the gas above the home and away from the Vicki, the homeowner.
The team also installed an exterior aesthetic package which covers the fan and adds a sleek finish to the system.
SuperSump was installed to help keep pump water intrusion out of the crawl space.
The crawl space is securely encapsulated with CleanSpace providing a bright, cleaner and safer crawl space.
