  • ALL PENETRATIONS THROUGH THE HOUSE STRUCTURE ARE SEALED WITH CLEAR SILICONE SEALANT.

WHY DOES TIMMIT RADON SYSTEMS DO ALL OF THE ABOVE?

KEY BENEFITS

  • THE FAN HOUSING COVER PROTECTS THE FAN FROM WEATHER ELEMENTS AND PREVENTS TAMPERING WITH THE ELECTRICAL POWER SOURCE. 

​

  • THE WHITE FAN HOUSING COVER CAN BE PAINTED IF YOU CHOOSE TO MATCH IT TO YOUR DOWNSPOUT EXHAUST COLOR.


  • THE FAN HOUSING COVER IS AESTHETICALLY PLEASING.


  • THE USE OF SIDING OR TRIM COLOR MATCHING ALUMINUM DOWNSPOUT, INSTEAD OF PVC PIPE FOR THE FAN EXHAUST, BLENDS WITH THE EXISTING EXTERIOR FINISH. 


  • THE EXHAUST IS NOT AS NOTICEABLE TO THE UNTRAINED EYE IF CORNER INSTALLATIONS ARE POSSIBLE. IT ACTUALLY LOOKS NO WORSE THAN YOUR EXISTING GUTTER DOWNSPOUT, WHICH IS PRESENT ON THE CORNERS OF THE MAJORITY OF ALL HOUSES.


  • THE DOWNSPOUT IS VERY LIGHT (COMPARED TO SCHEDULE 40 PVC PIPE) WHICH ELIMINATES THE POSSIBILITY OF SIDING BEING PULLED APART OR AWAY FROM THE HOUSE IF THE EXHAUST SUPPORT BRACKETS ARE NOT MOUNTED TO STRUCTURAL FRAMING.


  • PVC PIPE EXHAUSTS, UNLIKE ALUMINUM DOWNSPOUT EXHAUSTS, ARE AFFECTED BY THE ULTRA-VIOLET RAYS OF THE SUN AND WILL TURN YELLOW,  WHICH CAN BECOME AN EVEN BIGGER EYESORE THAN THE PVC PIPE ITSELF. THE AVERAGE HOMEOWNER WILL MOVE EVENTUALLY AND AN UGLY SYSTEM WILL BE AN ISSUE DURING THE SALE. TIMMIT RADON SYSTEMS' EXTERIOR INSTALLATIONS ARE NEVER AN ISSUE BECAUSE WE TAKE GREAT CARE IN DESIGN WITH REGARDS TO CRAFTSMANSHIP, APPEARANCE & AESTHETICS. 


  • EXHAUST TERMINATIONS PAST THE HIGHEST GUTTER LINE OR ROOF EAVE ELIMINATES ANY POSSIBLE RE-ENTRAINMENT OF EXHAUSTED RADON GAS.


  • TIMMIT'S RADON MITIGATION SYSTEMS ARE UNEQUALED IN QUALITY, CRAFTSMANSHIP AND ARE THE MOST AESTHETICALLY PLEASING SYSTEMS IN THE INDUSTRY, ELIMINATING ANY FUTURE CONCERNS.  ​
