Mitigation Experience
RADON MITIGATION PROJECTS
- OBAR SYSTEMS has installed over 20,000 radon mitigation systems since 1985 listed below are some recent notable projects and a list of some of the large scale projects completed.
- Building diagnostics and systems design for an historic home with a 6,100 sq ft basement. The final design required only 2 fans providing significant savings on installation costs and electrical usage. An additional 4,000 sq. ft .building on the estate was mitigated with one system, as was a third building on the estate. Project completed January 2011
- Building diagnostics and system design for a single family home with radon concentrations of 200-320 pci//l. The radon was reduced below 4 pci/l . The water was found to have levels of 19,000 pci/L in the drinking water a system was installed and the levels were reduced by 92% The project was completed in march 2010
- Building diagnostics and system design for an antique home with a 5,500 sq. ft. basement. The resulting design required only one fan, beyond the cost savings it allowed the system to be installed without impacting the appearance of the home. The project was completed in June 2010
- Building diagnostics and system design for a 10,800 sq. ft. basement. The resulting design required only 4 systems which were located in a utility building 100′ away from the main estate. The project was completed in June 2009
- Installation of mitigation systems and testing of dormitories at Rutgers University 2008.
- New construction Clinton NJ 853 units mixed condominiums and town homes OBAR provided system design ,installation and testing. 1985 – 87

OBAR systems has continued to service the building community by activating systems installed by builders and providing a confirmation test through a 3rd party lab.
