Site Dynamics & Mountain Engineering in Highlands, NC
Condensation bypass drain loops installed on US-64 protect radon fan motors from trapped mountain moisture in Highlands, NC.
Perforated 4-inch corrugated pipe loops are buried beneath crawlspace vapor barriers to collect radon gas evenly.
Radon systems installed on historical homes must coordinate exterior pipe placement with local historic preservation guidelines.
