Purple Mountain Radon Before & After Photos

Tucked into the hills of Bailey, CO, this home faced a unique radon challenge with dangerously high levels throughout multiple floors. With two unventilated crawlspaces and a basement showing extreme readings, the homeowners needed a customized solution. They chose Purple Mountain Radon for their expertise in complex mitigation designs. Instead of a single system, the layout required two separate ones to accommodate the structure without running pipes through their living space. Perforated piping was installed under vapor barriers in the crawlspaces, and suction points were strategically placed to optimize airflow. Just a day after installation, radon levels dropped to a safe range, giving the homeowners peace of mind. Every home is different—if you need a tailored solution for radon mitigation, trust the experts at Purple Mountain Radon.

Home located in the mountains of Guffey, CO with a pre-test result of 29.4 pCi/L. A perimeter drain depressurization system was installed and post test results were 1.5 pCi/L.

This cabin in Como had a sub-slab depressurization system installed in the mechanical room.

Radon is a naturally occurring gas that can accumulate in homes, posing serious health risks over time, especially when levels exceed recommended limits. In this case, the radon level in the basement was dangerously high at over 9.0 pCi/L, affecting the safety of the home's occupants, including the son’s bedroom. Purple Mountain Radon was called in to address this issue, as the home, built into the side of a mountain, had no initial mitigation measures, with the slab poured directly onto solid granite. Due to the challenges posed by the granite, including potential fissures, a more complex solution was avoided by installing an ERV system, which effectively reduced radon levels without extensive excavation. This proactive step ensured the family’s safety without unnecessary delays or costs. If you’re concerned about radon in your home, don’t wait—contact us today to discuss your mitigation options!

Radon buildup can be especially concerning in homes with basements or crawlspaces, as these enclosed areas are prone to trapping dangerous radon gas. In Evergreen, CO, a homeowner noticed consistently high radon levels, especially during winter, using a radon detector. After seeing a recommendation from a neighbor on Next-door, they reached out to Purple Mountain Radon for help. The home, built into a steep hillside and featuring a new addition with a crawlspace, had radon levels exceeding 4.0 pCi/L. While the homeowner chose to delay encapsulating the crawlspace, we installed a sub-slab depressurization system to effectively reduce radon levels. This custom solution helps protect the home, overcoming the unique challenges of its hillside location. Ready to make your home safer? Reach out to Purple Mountain Radon today!
