Heat Recovery Ventilators (HRVs) An HRV is simply a dual intake/exhaust fan that exchanges heat (energy) between the intake and exhaust. In other words, it allows you to exchange the air in a home without losing all of the heat (or air conditioned air) as you exhaust the old, stale […]
LOUISVILLE OH (SHALLOW CREEK DR) – RADON MITIGATION This job was wrapped up in March 2018 for a relative of one of our favorite REMAX agents. They sleep in their walk-out basement and got a radon reading over 6+ pCi/L from another licensed radon tester. When our client called, we […]
Radon Mitigation – Overbrook Dr, Cuyahoga Falls OH This job was recently completed (March 2018). We got a call 5 days before closing indicating that a test came back high (about 7 pCi/L) and the seller needed a job done quickly! We know how these things can be, so we […]
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 […]
Last month, we got a call from a concerned homeowner living in the Akron/Coventry area. She used a homeowner’s radon digital test machine and was getting readings over 30 pCi/L (that’s VERY high!). She wanted to confirm the readings and if accurate, remedy the problem. We scheduled an appointment […]
This job was on Stephens Rd in the Firestone Park neighborhood of Akron Ohio. It was a small slab ranch (no basement) built around 1950. There were very few places we could install the system, and after discussing options with our client, it was installed in the laundry room. […]
We just completed a very complicated mitigation system design & installation in southeast Canton, Ohio. This 2200 sf colonial was built in 1985, and has a nice sized addition with crawlspace in the rear. The basement was finished, and the finishers decided to build walls OVER the sump pumps! […]
Although our name is “Akron Radon Reduction Systems”, we work all over NE Ohio. Lately, we’ve been getting a lot of calls from Canton Ohio…but this is not a surprise. If you look at the EPA‘s map of radon zones, you’ll see that Stark County is Zone 3 (most likely […]
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 […]
Attached are photos of a recent mitigation system we installed in Akron. This home was built around 1920 and is approximately 1300sf. It’s 2 stories, with a lot of additions/modifications. The exterior walls were thicker than we’ve ever see, the concrete floor was harder than most, the sub-slab agrregate was […]
We recently completed a radon mitigation installation in Akron Ohio’s Highland Square neighborhood, and took some videos along the way. Each one will explain different aspects of the installation. Take a look and enjoy! If you need a radon mitigation contractor to help with a high radon test, call […]
Here are a few pictures and videos from a recent installation in Akron. This cute little house was a ‘flip’ that tested 5.3 pCi/L during a real-estate transaction. We installed a simple exterior radon mitigation system, and dropped that number under 1.0 pCi/L. Pictured are the process by which we […]
Very often, we are asked to reduce radon levels in a home involved in a real estate transaction. All Radon Mitigation Specialists in OH are held to different standards for real-estate transactions than for “self-motivated home dwellers”. The reason is simple – time! If you are reading this article, there’s […]
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 […]
