Radon: Mitigated

The ever present threat of Radon gas has finally been mitigated at our house. After finding out only a few weeks ago that we were threatened with borderline high Radon levels, we decided to get some mitigation contracting done. Here are some pics of the finished result.

Yeah, that's a fan that sucks air from a hole dug underneath our house and pipes it 10+ feet up in the air so that the radon gas can mix with the rest of the air, just like if there were no house there to collect it all. It's all about soil communication and pressure differences.

Hey, what's that on the fan enclosure? Looks serious, let's zoom in for a closer look.

Booyah! This is super serious! This guy handles radioactive material so like, don't alter or disconnect it.
