Georgia Radon Defense serving Snellville, GA

Andy contacted Georgia Radon Defense after a radon test revealed levels of 12 pCi/L, three times the EPA's action limit. Timing was crucial as Andy had just started to remodel his basement, making it the best time to address his radon issue. Recognizing the urgency of his situation, we promptly dispatched our estimator, Craig, to devise a mitigation plan. 

The following week, our skilled technicians, Trent and Adorian, executed Craig's finalized plan with precision. With the mitigation system installed, Andy's levels decreased to 1.8 pCi/L allowing him to continue his basement remodel without delay.

Jesse contacted Georgia Radon Defense to inspect his radon mitigation system, which had been installed over 25 years ago. Committed to following the EPA's guidelines, Jesse ensures his system is inspected every two years to stay on top of any maintenance issues that can arise. We dispatched our skilled technicians, Trent and Adorian, to conduct the inspection and provide feedback.

To their surprise, Trent and Adorian found that Jesse's system was one of the most well-crafted they had ever inspected. Despite its age, the system was solidly built and devoid of any obvious flaws. As a precautionary measure, Trent and Adorain provided Jesse with a test kit just to ensure the system's continued effectiveness.

The test results were reassuring, showing that Jesse's radon levels were less than 0.9 pCi/L, well below the EPA's action limit.

Frequently when we go into homes to resolve radon issues we see other issues that the homeowner may not be aware of. A frequent thing we notice in basements are store-bought dehumidification systems that are improperly installed.

At a recent installation in Snellville, GA we noticed a basement dehumidifier that was draining into the sewage ejector pit. It is not uncommon to see a sump pit used for draining condensation from HVAC systems and dehumidifiers. (I'm not saying this is correct but it is somewhat accepted.) People hear this and fail to realize the distinction between a sewage ejector pit and a sump pit.

We don't see a lot of sump pits in our area. They are the solution to foundation drainage issues and the result of a rather expensive solution to a serious problem. Sewage pits are designed to remain airtight so toxic gasses can not escape. 

When we asked the homeowner about the dehumidifier she admitted that she had installed it herself, tired of draining the bucket, and then routed it to what she thought was a sump pit. We offered her the option of a system that was much more efficient, came with a factory 5-year warranty, and a condensate pump that would pump the moisture to the exterior.

If you have inefficient store-bought basement dehumidifiers, are tired of emptying the buckets, or have them draining to anywhere other than outside, give Georgia Healthy Homes a call.
