Beaverdale radon expertise

## Right Next Door to Our Office

Our office on Franklin Ave sits right on the edge of Beaverdale, so we're close to every street in the neighborhood. That helps when a buyer's inspection turns up a high radon result and the clock is running on a contingency.

We test with continuous radon monitors timed to the inspection window, quote quickly, and can often install and run the post-mitigation test before closing.

Housing & foundations

## Beaverdale Tudors and Their Foundations

**Settling block foundations.** Many Beaverdale homes have hollow block walls that have shifted over the decades. Soil gas can move through the block cores and cracks.

**Cracked basement slabs.** Older slabs often have long cracks and a gap at the floor-wall joint. In winter, the stack effect pulls soil gas right through them.

**Our usual fix.** A sub-slab depressurization system with thorough crack and joint sealing, a gasketed sump lid and, when needed, a second suction point. Pipe routing is planned to keep the brick exterior looking right.

expand\_more

In most cases, yes. We're right next to Beaverdale and schedule quickly to fit real estate timelines.

### Will the pipe ruin the look of my brick home?

expand\_more

We plan routing to keep it out of sight, often through the garage or up a rear wall, and can paint exterior pipe.
