Helping Homeowners Breathe Easy - Multifamily & Mixed-Use Construction

McKenney’s completed a complex radon remediation project at a condominium development.

THE CHALLENGEThe McKenney’s team was contracted to lower radon levels by installing Energy Recovery Ventilators (ERV) in a finished 200-unit condominium complex—half of which were occupied. Existing homeowners wanted reassurance that McKenney’s would

respect their homes and uphold high quality standards. Varied floor plans and different construction methods within the same plan made ERV installation especially complicated.

THE SOLUTIONThe team established a pre-task plan and met with 100 homeowners to address individ-ual schedules, expectations and concerns. To contend with inconsistent floor plans, the installer located space above closet

ceilings to mount ERV units, and a subcon-tractor installed access doors. Holes were cut in sheetrock and soffits to install flexible duct-work and in the building exterior for venting. All holes were patched, sanded and painted.

THE RESULTSFollowing successful ERV installation in more than 200 homes, independent testing showed radon levels had dropped well below Environ-mental Protection Agency requirements.
