Attached are some photos from a job we completed last week in Coventry Crossings, Akron OH 44319. The home was built in 2005 and tested at 5.0 pCi/L when it was inspected for sale in a real-estate transaction. The customer was a previous client of ours and wanted us to […]
Another mitigation system has been installed successfully by Akron Radon! This was a simple 1000sf ranch with partially finished basement. The unique feature we had to overcome in this home was the old baseboard waterproofing system. If you haven’t already, read our blog post on waterproofing and radon so you […]
Earlier this month, we completed a radon mitigation installation which dropped a previous radon test of 9.0 pCi/L to less than 1.0 pCi/L in Cuyahoga Falls. Below, you’ll see the process by which we evaluated and completed the job! After designing the system (layout, location, electrical access etc), we […]
Since our pricing structure depends on the number of access points (suction points) we must install, you probably want to know how we determine the appropriate number of access points! Like everything else in radon mitigation, there’s no simple answer. We can, however, explain how to get a good idea […]

Akron Radon Reduction Systems’ main objective during an installation is to to remove the radon from the soils surrounding your home and discharge them above your roof-line. This technique is referred to as sub-slab depressurization (SSD). We will determine the optimal location for access (suction) points, fan installation, and exhaust. […]
One of the most cost-effective methods of waterproofing a basement is the interior french drain. Regardless of the materials used, the concept is the same. First, a 12-18″ strip of concrete is removed around the perimeter of the basement to expose the dirt & footer below. Dimpled plastic, plastic sheeting, […]
