APPLICABILITY:
Any house with a concrete slab floor on the
lowest level (basement or first floor) where the
primary Radon source is below the house
(virtually all houses with elevated Radon).
PRINCIPLE OF OPERATION:
A negative pressure field is created below the
slab preventing the entry of Radon Gas into the
house.
SYSTEM DESCRIPTION:
One or more penetrations are made in the slab
and a small pit is created beneath each
penetration. PVC duct pipe is connected to the
slab penetration/s and is routed unobtrusively
(through closets, plumbing chases or other
unexposed areas) to the suction side of the Fan.
PVC pipe is then connected to the pressure side
of the Fan and routed through the roof using a
standard roof flange and waterproof sealants.
The Radon Gas is discharged safely above the
roofline. The PVC vent pipe protrudes slightly
above the roof (12") and has the same
the fan.
