Questions before you decide?
Damp lots, sump pits and fans
Sump pit lids
If your pit is open, radon can enter. A sealed, gasketed lid can let the pit act as a suction point.
Floor drains
Drains can leak soil gas. We check them as part of the plan.
Post-fix test
We confirm the fix with a test after the fan runs at least 24 hours.
