Georgia Radon Defense serving Hall, GA

Jerry C. never lived in the home that he was selling in Gainesville, GA. It was only a year old but his retirement plans had changed so he put it back on the market. The potential buyers had a radon test with their home inspection and the results made them unsure about moving forward with the purchase. Jerry agreed to install a radon mitigation system to lower the levels below the EPA action level. After getting several bids, he contracted with Georgia Radon Defense to complete the work and provide a follow-up test with a continuous radon monitor. (The sellers stipulated that the follow-up test be done with the same type of monitor as their original test.)

The first challenge was the Home Owner's Association. The HOA insisted that the piping be routed through the interior. The home was a one-story home with a finished basement. Our only choice was to route the piping from the basement into the garage, then straight up through the garage ceiling across a massive attic space, and out through the back of the roof. The system would need to be properly designed to save this transaction.

We were able to install the system and deliver a follow-up test before the buyer's due diligence period was up. To satisfy the HOA requirements we also painted the exterior piping black. The final average radon level measured was 1.7 pCi/L and the buyers moved forward with their purchase. 

If you are selling your home and potential buyers have concerns with radon, we can help.

Ann L. recently purchased a newly constructed home in Gainesville, GA that had a passive radon mitigation system installed. She intended to perform her own radon test but wanted to know more about the system. She hired Georgia Radon Defense for a system inspection.

When Mike visited the home he took his Radon Sniffer to measure the radon levels coming from the exhaust pipe through the roof. He was able to get readings of around 200 pCi/L using a 15 min average. This was a clear demonstration that the system was working but he recommended doing a short-term test to measure the levels inside the home. Mike was also able to navigate her attic space to determine the feasibility of adding a fan if the passive system was not adequately reducing the levels in the home.
