Purple Mountain Radon Before & After Photos

A sub-slab mitigation system was installed in this Colorado Springs home against back wall of basement behind HVA system.

Radon is a radioactive gas that naturally occurs in the soil and can seep into homes, increasing the risk of lung cancer, especially in areas with poor ventilation. In this project, Purple Mountain Radon addressed the high radon levels in a home in Colorado Springs, where the family had a newborn. The issue stemmed from exposed soil in an un-encapsulated crawlspace, which allowed radon to enter the home. The team encapsulated the crawlspace with a vapor barrier to meet radon mitigation standards and attached it to the radon system. The challenge arose when the homeowner requested part of the crawlspace to be used for storage, leading to the installation of a dimpled plastic drainage mat and a thicker 20mil vapor barrier for added protection and airflow. This solution not only met the radon standards but also provided a practical storage space for the homeowner.

This radon mitigation project in Colorado Springs on October 17, 2024, involved a perimeter drain installation to enhance safety while prioritizing aesthetics. The homeowner requested minimal visibility from the street, so we planned to bore through a window well near the front of the house, ensuring the exhaust pipe could run beneath the fence. Once on the other side, the pipe would attach to the wall for a clean finish. To help with the appearance, the homeowner asked us to drop off the pipe and fittings a couple of days before installation so he could paint them. This thoughtful approach supported both safety and the homeowner's desire for concealment.
