Photo Album: Radon Mitigation in Colorado Springs, CO 80922

A homeowner in Colorado Springs, CO, reached out to Purple Mountain Radon after a recent test indicated elevated radon levels in their basement, even though earlier tests had shown safe results. The basement, which features bedrooms, a family room, and a basement office, had radon entering through the soil beneath the slab and an open sump pit. To address this, Purple Mountain Radon took a comprehensive approach. They first installed a perimeter drain depressurization system, which made use of the home's existing perforated pipe drain tile. Additionally, the team sealed the sump pit with an airtight lid to prevent further radon entry. Despite the challenges of working in a tight area between a window well and a planter box, the team managed to dig and install the necessary components with precision. This thoughtful solution significantly reduced the radon risk, ensuring the homeowner could enjoy peace of mind.
