Crawl space sub-membrane depressurization in East Amwell Township

Sealed membrane over an open crawl-space floor with suction drawn beneath it. The right system when there is no slab to cut through.

Whether crawl space sub-membrane depressurization is the right answer in East Amwell Township depends on what is actually under the floor.

How this normally comes up

  • A crawl space that smells of soil no matter the season
  • Insulation and ductwork in a crawl the ground is open to
  • A dirt-floored or stone-walled crawl space under an older farmhouse

Why this comes up in East Amwell Township

East Amwell sits largely outside public supply. A well here draws from the Sourland diabase or the sediments running off it — the same fractured rock the soil gas travels through.

East Amwell Township — the state's own numbers

43% of the 1,314 test results NJDEP holds for East Amwell Township were at or above the 4.0 pCi/L action level — 567 of them. That puts it in Tier 1 — high potential.

East Amwell Township is a rural township running from the Flemington side south across the Sourland Mountain ridge, and that shapes what a system here has to be designed around.

Practicalities in East Amwell Township

Generous rural lots, though wooded and boulder-strewn ground on the mountain can complicate equipment access.

Any permit for this runs through East Amwell Township. NJDEP radon certification has to be current before a business receives anything from us.

What the work involves

Where there is no slab, the ground itself becomes the barrier. Reinforced membrane is laid over the crawl-space floor, sealed to the walls and around the piers, and a suction point beneath it is piped to a fan. Sealing quality is the whole job here — a membrane taped at the seams and left loose at the wall performs nothing like one properly terminated.

Typical cost in Hunterdon County, NJ

Certification, checked before referral

Installing radon mitigation for a fee in New Jersey requires NJDEP certification as a radon mitigation business, affiliated with a certified radon mitigation specialist (N.J.A.C. 7:28-27). We confirm that on the NJDEP register and record the date we checked. That is a check, not an endorsement — satisfy yourself before you hire.

System running and the reading hasn't moved?
