Sealed sump basin and drain solutions designed to help contribute to radon-resistant residential drainage systems.
Radon is a naturally occurring radioactive gas found in the soil. Invisible and odorless, it can accumulate in basements through openings in the foundation, including drains, cracks, and sump basins.
Modern homes, built with tighter and better-insulated building envelopes, can increase radon accumulation when no preventive measures are integrated into the structure.
Our Radon Mitigation Solutions
Soleno offers a complete range of sealed drainage solutions designed to help reduce radon entry points while maintaining efficient water management in residential buildings.
A complete range of sealed solutions designed to help reduce radon infiltration in residential basements
The sump basin is directly connected to the foundation drainage system surrounding the home. When not properly sealed, it can allow air and soil gases to circulate into the basement
Sealed solutions help limit these infiltrations while maintaining proper residential drainage performance.
Key Product Benefits
For several years, Soleno has been developing water management solutions tailored to the needs of contractors, installers, and building professionals.

Frequently Asked Questions About Radon and Sealed Sump Basins
A radon-tight sump basin is designed to help reduce soil gas infiltration into the basement through a sealed design adapted for residential drainage systems.
The sump basin is connected to the foundation drain located beneath the concrete slab. If left open or unsealed, it can allow soil air and gases to enter the basement.
A standard sump basin is primarily designed for water management. A sealed sump basin adds an additional layer of protection against air, moisture, and soil gas infiltration such as radon.
Yes. Radon can be present in all regions since concentrations depend on the natural characteristics of the soil. Health Canada recommends a maximum concentration of 200 BQ/m3
Yes. Even newly constructed homes can be affected by radon, especially when basements are highly airtight and well insulated.
Yes. Improved airtightness can also help reduce odors and moisture coming from the drainage system.
In many cases, an existing sump basin can be replaced with a sealed solution to improve protection against infiltration.
Yes. Soleno’s sealed drainage solutions can be integrated into residential radon mitigation approaches.
