Radon Mitigation Before & After Photos

A family in Colorado Springs, CO, noticed high radon levels in their basement and crawlspace, which raised concerns for the safety of their young children. After considering options, they chose Purple Mountain Radon for their expertise and reputation. The mitigation process included installing an airtight sump lid where the radon riser was placed, encapsulating and sealing the crawlspace, and connecting the radon pipe from the sump pit. These steps effectively reduced the radon levels and minimized the risk of exposure.

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.

Before photo of crawlspace. There was less than 12" of clearance from bottom of floor joists to crawlspace floor; a pile of dirt was higher along the access. This dirt pile had to be distributed throughout the crawlspace and smoothed out to allow access. After smoothing out the dirt pile, it created about 15" or so inches of clearance where I was able to literally crawl in and install the membrane.  

There were two crawlspaces in this home we completed earlier this year which were tied into the sub-slab depressurization system of the basement.

This home in Colorado Springs had a new addition built with two crawlspaces and a finished basement.  We joined the two crawlspaces together with the sub-slab depressurization system.
