Radon and Sump pump install in Nepean-Ottawa
Challenge
A homeowner in Ottawa, Ontario, contacted our team after becoming concerned about potential radon exposure in their home. In addition to the radon concerns, they also wanted to improve moisture management and drainage in their basement to ensure the space remained dry and protected.
After evaluating the home, our team determined that a dedicated radon mitigation system was needed to safely vent radon gas from beneath the foundation. We also identified opportunities to improve basement protection through better drainage and exterior safeguards.
Solution
Our crew installed a comprehensive system designed to improve both indoor air safety and basement protection, including:
- Radon mitigation system to safely vent radon gas from beneath the home
- Fan moisture guard to protect the system from weather exposure
- Varmint guard to prevent pests from entering the discharge pipe
- Window well to improve drainage and protect basement windows
- Zoeller M-98 sump pump to help manage groundwater and keep the basement dry
These systems work together to reduce radon levels in the home while also improving overall basement drainage and protection. The homeowner now has a safer and more protected basement environment. The radon mitigation system helps maintain healthier indoor air quality, while the sump pump and drainage improvements ensure that groundwater is properly managed. With these upgrades in place, the homeowner can enjoy greater peace of mind knowing their home is protected from both radon gas and potential water intrusion.
