LOCAL HOMES ### Basement Homes in Pleasant Hill **Established basements.** Many Pleasant Hill homes have full basements with a sump pit, floor cracks and a floor-wall joint that lets soil gas in. A sub-slab depressurization system with sealing is the usual fix. **Newer homes.** Newer neighborhoods may have passive radon pipe. Test after move-in to see if it needs a fan. **Finished lower levels.** If your basement is finished, we plan routing through utility areas or run an exterior system to avoid opening walls.
