Basement waterproofing system compatible with and configured to integrate with radon gas measurement and exhaust components

1 . A basement waterproofing device incorporating radon gas measurement access and exhaust means comprising:

a trench dug along the outer basement wall;

said trench refilled with an embedded drainage tube;

a vapor barrier displaced vertically along the basement wall;

an angled edging member in mechanical contact with the vapor barrier and located proximate the top of the refilled trench; and

a repoured slab incorporating a vertical gas passageway flush with the original basement floor.

2 . The device of claim 1 wherein the vertical gas passageway is sealed on top with a removable air tight seal.

3 . The device of claim 2 wherein the vertical gas passageway may be air tight coupled to an extended vapor passage way.

4 . The device of claim 3 wherein the extended vapor passage way exhausts channeled gases out through the roof.

5 . The device of claim 1 wherein the vapor barrier may be coated with an antimicrobial layer.

6 . A basement waterproofing device incorporating radon gas measurement and exhaust means comprising:

a trench dug along the outer basement wall;

said trench refilled with an embedded drainage tube;

a vapor barrier displaced vertically along the basement wall;

an angled edging member in mechanical contact with the vapor barrier and located proximate the top of the refilled trench;

a repoured slab incorporating a vertical gas passageway flush with the original basement floor;

an exhaust gas via duct extending from the vertical gas passageway flush with the original basement floor out the attic roof; and

a fan in-line with said exhaust gas via duct configured to pull gas from the soil below the basement floor and out the attic roof.

7 . The device of claim 6 wherein the fan is preset to run at a constant speed.

8 . The device of claim 7 wherein the fan speed is chosen to correspond to a clinically acceptable radon gas threshold level within the house.

9 . The device of claim 8 wherein the clinically acceptable radon gas threshold level is not to exceed 4 pico-Curies/Liter (4×10 −12 Curies/Liter).

10 . A basement waterproofing device incorporating radon gas measurement and exhaust means comprising:

a trench dug along the outer basement wall;

said trench refilled with an embedded drainage tube;

a vapor barrier displaced vertically along the basement wall;

an angled edging member in mechanical contact with the vapor barrier and located proximate the top of the refilled trench;

a repoured slab incorporating a vertical gas passageway flush with the original basement floor;

an exhaust gas via duct extending from the vertical gas passageway flush with the original basement floor out the attic roof;

a fan in-line with said exhaust gas via duct configured to pull gas from the soil below the basement floor and out the attic roof, and

a radon measurement device in line with the exhaust gas via duct and in communication with said fan.

11 . The device of claim 10 wherein the fan speed is adjustable based on communication received from the radon measurement device.

12 . The device of claim 11 wherein the fan speed may automatically adjust to keep the in-line radon gas level below an acceptable radon gas threshold level.

13 . The device of claim 12 wherein the acceptable radon gas threshold level is not to exceed 4 pico-Curies/Liter (4×10 −12 Curies/Liter).

14 . A basement waterproofing device incorporating radon gas measurement and exhaust means comprising:

a trench dug along the outer basement wall;

said trench refilled with an embedded drainage tube;

a vapor barrier displaced vertically along the basement wall;

an angled edging member in mechanical contact with the vapor barrier and located proximate the top of the refilled trench;

a repoured slab incorporating a vertical gas passageway flush with the original basement floor;

an exhaust gas via duct extending from the vertical gas passageway flush with the original basement floor out the attic roof;

a fan in-line with said exhaust gas via duct configured to pull gas from the soil below the basement floor and out the attic roof,

said fan configured to accept wireless communication;

a radon measurement device located in the basement and in wireless communication with said fan.

15 . The device of claim 14 wherein the fan speed is adjustable based on wireless communication received from the radon measurement device.

16 . The device of claim 15 wherein the fan speed may automatically adjust to keep the radon gas level below an acceptable threshold level.

17 . The device of claim 16 wherein the acceptable radon gas threshold level is not to exceed 4 pico-Curies/Liter (4×10 −12 Curies/Liter).
