Purple Mountain Radon Before & After Photos

Before and after photos of crawlspace encapsulation.

A real estate transaction in Colorado Springs required quick action when radon levels in the home's unfinished basement were found to be above the recommended threshold. The seller needed a mitigation system in place for the buyer, so Purple Mountain Radon was called in to get the job done. After sealing the floor-to-wall joints in the basement, a suction point was carefully dug, revealing tightly compacted, moist sand beneath the slab. A specialized fan was installed to ensure proper airflow, effectively reducing radon levels. Whether you're selling, buying, or simply making your home safer, trust Purple Mountain Radon to handle radon mitigation with expertise.

In Colorado Springs, a homeowner working from a basement office faced high radon infiltration through the basement slab. Purple Mountain Radon installed a sub-slab depressurization system, carefully navigating around the unique layout of the split-level home. With the mechanical room not near an exterior wall, the system was placed beneath the entryway, where a path to the garage allowed for efficient routing of the pipe to the exterior. This strategic installation minimized disruption while effectively reducing radon levels. If you're experiencing similar issues, Purple Mountain Radon can provide a tailored solution to keep your home safe.

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.
