Pictures of a Professionally Installed Radon Gas Mitigation System
This active subslab depressurization (ASD) system is by far the most common
type of radon gas reduction system installed today. A hole is cut in the
basement slab, a cavity is excavated beneath the slab, and 3" or 4" diameter
PVC pipe is run up from the slab, out the basement wall, and connects with
an exterior mounted exhaust fan. From the fan, an exhaust pipe runs up at
least 10 feet above ground level, and 10 feet from any windows.
