We used the same engine hoist to replace the lid back in place after we replaced the well pump.</p> <p>Well pump located under stone patio. Masons covered the well tile cover with stones. The stone covered cover was a tight fit over the well tile. This made removal of the tile cover very difficult to remove because it had to be lifted vertically up to clear the surrounding stone patio. There was no clearance allowing us to cock the lid to one side with bars like we normally do. The need for a vertical removal was made difficult by the heavy weight of the lid (thought to exceed 300lbs.)</p> 2024-02-07T20:47:25.05Z https://www.ctradonandwellwater.com/radon-mitigation/case-studies/23796-radon-mitigation-system-install-on-a-tall-building.html 2024-01-29T13:37:26.05Z CT Radon and Well Water Solutions <p>We utilized a 60 foot articulating boom lift to allow us to run the Active Soil Depressurization (ASD) system exhaust out of the class room, over a main building entrance, up to the roofline of the structure on the corner of the building - away from any air intakes on the roof etc.</p> <p>A classroom in the lower level of a high school needed to be mitigated due to high indoor air radon levels. The problem is that there was no direct route to the roofline of the four story brick building.</p> 2024-01-29T13:37:26.05Z https://www.ctradonandwellwater.com/about-us/news-and-events/48338-radon-awareness-month-2024.html 2024-01-14T00:00:00.05Z Matt Bednarz January is Radon Awareness Month. CT Radon and Well Water Solutions continue to mitigate schools and homes. <figure class="image"><img src="https://cdn.treehouseinternetgroup.com/uploads/blog/6290/medium/ffld-undermine_1705268435.jpg" alt="radon mitigation in Fairfield School" width="640" height="480" /> <figcaption>Classrooms being mitigated by exteriorly installed ASD systems that undermine the slab without physically entering the rooms.</figcaption> </figure> <p>January is Radon Awareness Month across the US. Here in CT, we're continuing to mitigate homes and schools to lower indoor radon concentrations and protect students and homeowners alike. Active Soil Depressurization (ASD) continues to be the premier approach to lowering indoor radon concentrations. ASD creates a negative pressure field under the slab of the structure which prevents radon and soil gas from ever entering the structure.</p> 2024-01-14T00:00:00.05Z https://www.ctradonandwellwater.com/radon-mitigation/case-studies/22184-well-pump-repair-in-haddam-ct.html 2023-02-19T14:28:55.05Z CT Radon and Well Water Solutions <p>We ran some electrical checks on the pump and determined that the pump had a "locked rotor", causing high amperage draw, causing the circuit breaker to trip. We pulled the pump and replaced the pump and wire.</p> <p><span style="font-size: 12pt;">A customer called on a Saturday morning complaining of "no water". The customer is on a private well. The customer also has a Bubble Up waterborne radon mitigation system. The system was running constantly, but not sending any water to points of use. When an aeration system is starved for water because the good pump isn't pumping water - the blower will run constantly. After talking the owner through bypassing the aeration system, and them still not having any water, we proceeded to the house for an emergency "no water" call.</span></p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p><span style="font-size: 12pt;">Upon arrival, we found that the well at this home does not have an exposed well head. The wellhead is in a good pit at the front of the property. As a result, we jumped down into the pit and proceeded to change the pump.</span></p> 2023-02-19T14:28:55.05Z https://www.ctradonandwellwater.com/radon-mitigation/case-studies/21760-radon-fan-unit-mounted-overhead-in-garage.html 2022-12-02T08:37:32.05Z CT Radon and Well Water Solutions <p>CT Radon came out to the customer's home to install an overhead Radon fan unit. The exhaust routed through the garage roof. The pipe enters the basement and taps into the basement slab.</p> <p>The customer called CT Radon &amp; Well Water Solutions to address a possible Radon issue.&nbsp;</p> 2022-12-02T08:37:32.05Z
