A radon system has to do two things: pull radon out of the home and stay out of the way while it does. The installations below are all working sub-slab systems, and each one was fitted to the house it is on. Look closely and you will see color-matched downspout transitions, 3D printed parts that turn a round pipe into a clean rectangular run, and fans placed to keep the finished result quiet and unobtrusive.

Questions About How These Systems Look
Do these systems just look good, or do they actually work?
Both. Every system in these photos is a working sub-slab depressurization system that pulls radon out from under the home and vents it above the roofline. The finish work sits on top of a system whose U-tube manometer shows it is holding vacuum. Most homes we mitigate end up below 2.0 pCi/L, well under the EPA action level of 4.0.
Can you match the pipe and fan to my house?
That is the whole idea. Depending on the home, that can mean a color-matched downspout transition, a 3D printed part to turn a round pipe into a rectangular downspout, a two-tone finish, or an offset elbow that routes the pipe around a window. The goal is a system that looks like it was meant to be there.
Will the pipe be visible from the street?
We route to keep it as discreet as the house allows, including running the discharge where it blends into the exterior. Some homes suit an interior route to the roofline; others take an exterior run. What is possible depends on the layout, which is one of the things we look at during the free on-site assessment.
Why does the finish work vary from photo to photo?
Because no two homes are the same. Siding color, downspout placement, window locations, and where the fan can safely draw from all change the right approach. The variety in these installations is the point: each one was fitted to the house it is on rather than forced into a single template.
