CT Radon and Well Water Solutions Before & After Photos

In this before and after we took an old aeration system, and replaced it with a Granulated Activated Carbon System (GAC).

Old Box store water softener replaced with a new upflow acid neutralizer and high efficiency Clack WS1 water softener with a post "big Blue" sediment filter. The homeowner was experiencing turquoise staining due to acidic water as well as white build up from the current softener not adequately softening the water. 

The owner opted for the upflow version of the neutralizer rather than a downflow to conserve water usage which would otherwise be increase by adding a backwashing neutralizer. Since there was an existing sediment filter, and we added a post sediment filter, the filtration benefits of a downflow neutralizer wasn't needed.

The Clack water softener is a metered system that will also conserve water usage and only regenerate when necessary. As is the case with all our water system installations, we used 1" pex pipe to ensure maximum flow with minimal pressure drop.

CT Radon and Well Water Solutions was called out to a home in Norwalk CT to investigate a house that was built entirely on a dirt crawl space. Elevated radon levels of 10+ pCi/l were recorded in multiple living areas over the crawl space.

We went out to the home and found that the house was built entirely over exposed dirt crawl spaces.

CT Radon and Well Water Solutions was hired to mitigate the property. We installed a cross-laminated poly vapor barrier over the entire dirt floor footprint. We then installed suction pipes through the barrier and routed them to the home's exterior where we connected an in-line fan to the pipe network to create suction under the barrier and expel the soil gas outdoors above the roofline. Post-mitigation testing revealed results of < 1.0 pCi/l in all living areas.

Customer had a well tank and plumbing connections that showed signs of severe corrosion. He also had an old aeration system for waterborne radon removal that had been in bypass for years due to constant malfunctions. We removed the old pressure tank and aeration system and installed a new pressure tank, along with a neutralizer to reduce corrosion, and a GAC system for waterborne radon removal. Customer now has a neutral pH, low radon levels, and better water pressure, and no fear of the corroded fittings letting go.

Active Soil Depressurization (ASD) system installed to reduce elevated radon in air concentrations as low as possible. This home had a heavy bed of gravel and sub slab pipe which required the use of 4" PVC and a high volume radon mitigation fan. Because of the porous gravel bed under the slab, one suction point was all that was needed to successfully establish a negative sub slab pressure field.
