Active Sub-Slab Depressurization
Core-drilling concrete slabs and installing continuous exterior vacuum fans in Black Mountain, NC.
Site Dynamics & Mountain Engineering in Black Mountain, NC
Active sub-slab depressurization systems in Black Mountain, NC pull radioactive radon gas out from beneath concrete basements over dense crystalline granite and boulders.
Mitigation crews core-drill 5-inch suction holes through concrete over dense crystalline granite and boulders and excavate 10 gallons of sub-slab soil.
North Carolina building codes require all new residential construction in EPA Zone 1 counties to include passive radon piping.
