Radon Mitigation for Ranch Home with High Levels and No Drain Tile

This ranch-style home had radon levels of 22.0 pCi/L, well above the EPA action level. While the basement had a sump pit, it lacked drain tile, and the layout included two main chambers separated by a stem wall with footings. To ensure proper radon reduction, a 3-point extraction system was designed:

• Point one near the plumbing stack
• Point two approximately 12 feet away in the basement corner
• Point three on the opposite side of the stem wall

The mitigation system will exit through the rim joist on the north side of the home. The homeowner expressed interest in the Breathe EZ air purification and duct cleaning, but will wait due to budget. Despite structural limitations, this setup delivers a strong foundation for radon abatement, protecting the home's air quality and ensuring a safer living space.
