Exterior Fan Installation
Exterior Fan Installation: The radon fan can be installed on the outside of the home. We take care to make the system as inconspicuous as possible.
Here the exterior in-line vacuum fan was placed by other utilities and landscaping to help conceal the system.
Exterior Fan Installation: The radon system exhaust pipe must extend up the side of the house so that radon is exhausted above the highest eave of the home.
Here the exterior pipe is neatly installed behind the fireplace chimney.
Exterior Fan Installation: This exterior system is hidden behind a fireplace and tucked behind the AC condensing unit.
Exterior Fan Installation: An on/off switch is installed within 6' of the radon fan and in view. The electrical and pipe penetrations are sealed with caulk to make water tight.
Exterior Fan Installation:The exterior exhaust pipe must extend up the side of the house so that the radon is expelled above the highest eave of the house.
Exterior Fan Installation: Based on our extensive experience, we highly recommend using PVC pipe as the exterior exhaust pipe over aluminum dowspout for the following reasons:
PVC is a better insulator so the system will be quieter and there will be less chance of the system freezing up in the winter.
Allows complete sealing of seams so there will be no leaking of radon or condensation and no chance for mold growth.

Exterior Fan Installation: Can you see our radon system in this picture?
Exterior Fan Installation: We offer the option of installing PVC downspout which looks like aluminum downspout but has all advantages of PVC pipe. This option is an additional charge.
Exterior Fan Installation: This photo shows the in-line vacuum fan hidden underneath a deck to help hide the radon system.
This system was designed to help hide the system, improving the look of the system.
This home's Home Owner's Association wanted the system to be located on the backside of the home. We were very creative in our solution to meet the HOA's requirements. This is a picture of the exterior exhaust with the fan underneath the deck and exhaust running along the downspout on the rear of the house.
Exterior Fan Installation: This photo shows an optional exterior fan housing that encloses the in-line vacuum fan. This housing can be painted. Installation of this housing is an additional charge.
This picture shows why aluminum downspout isn't a good solution as PVC pipe for the exterior exahaust pipe. Downspout can leak air and moisture at the seams. This photo shows mold growth at one of the seams. If downspout is used, it should be sealed at all the seams. Otherwise, radon gas and moisture will be illegally discharged.
Exterior Fan Installation: We are the only contractor making improvements on reducing the radon system noise by installing vibration collars on the exhaust pipe support system.
This picture shows our anti-vibration system.
We can get creative! This radon system runs through an unused chimney flue and the fan is located on top of the chimney.
We rise to all occasions! This installation was a 4-story condo. Four of our technicians are licensed to use aerial lifts.
