Description

VAPOR MITIGATION MITIGATION APPRATUS AND METHOD
TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The present invention is generally directed toward a vapor mitigation, and more specifically, toward the mitigation of radon vapor in the construction of buildings.
BACKGROUND
[0002] Radon is a colorless, odorless gas that can cause lung cancer. Radon gas can move through small spaces in the soil and rock upon which a house is built. It can seep into a home through dirt floors, cracks in concrete walls and floors, sumps, joints, basement drains, under the furnace base, and jack posts if the base is buried in the floor.
[0003] FIG. 1 illustrates a prior art system 10 to reduce the amount of radon gas from seeping into a house. As illustrated, the prior art system 10 utilizes a gas permeable layer 12 that is created below the building slab 14, which is usually made from concrete. The gas permeable layer 12 allows the radon gas to move laterally beneath the slab 14 to the location where a vent pipe can collect the gas and transport it away from the building. The gas permeable layer 12 is usually created with drainage rock, crushed gravel and/or other drainage material. Surrounding the gas permeable layer 12 are the building's footings 16 and foundation wall 18. The prior art system 10 places a layer of plastic sheeting 20 between the gas permeable layer 12 and the slab 14. The joint seams and all openings between the foundation wall 18 and slab 14 are sealed with an elastomeric sealant 22 such as polyurethane caulk.
[0004] The prior art, however, has disadvantages. The footings are purposely poured very rough and porous for proper adhesion of the foundation wall, which is poured on top of the footings.
The footings can become soiled with dirt, sand, fine gravel, or other contaminants preventing a proper seal between the footing and membrane.
[0005] Further, it is difficult to determine if the plastic sheeting 20 remained in place over the gas permeable layer 12 after the concrete that forms slab 14 is poured thereon, or if the plastic sheeting 20 has moved. If the plastic sheeting 20 remained in place, an airtight seal may be created. However, if there is movement, an airtight seal may not have been created. Due to the sheeting 20 being located under the slab 14, there is no way to make this determination.
[0006] Accordingly, there is a need for an apparatus and method to address the issues set out above.
SUMMARY
[0007] The present invention is generally directed toward a vapor mitigation, and more specifically, toward the mitigation of radon vapor in the construction of buildings.
[0008] In one aspect, a vapor mitigation apparatus for use with the construction of a building is disclosed. The building has a gas permeable layer surround by a foundation wall and footing. A
sheet of plastic sheeting is placed between the gas permeable layer and the buildings slab. The term plastic sheeting is used to mean any type of plastic sheet, membrane, film or other continuous polymeric material that is used to separate areas or volume to act as a barrier.
[0009] The apparatus includes a vertical securing piece configured to be affixed to the foundation wall by adhesion or other known securing fasteners. The securing piece has a first end located proximate to the footing and a second end. A horizontal foot is located at the first end of the securing piece and extends away from the securing piece. The horizontal foot is configured to rest on the footing that is supporting the foundation wall. A
mechanical clip is located at the second end of the securing piece and is configured to secure the piece of plastic sheeting. This creates an airtight seal between the ground below the building and the building.
[0010] In some aspects, the mechanical clip includes a first jaw member and a second jaw member that is hinged to the first jaw member. In the locked, or closed, position, the first jaw member and second jaw member are configured to secure the piece of plastic sheeting therebetween.
[0011] In some aspects, the mechanical clip includes a base member extending substantially horizontally away from securing piece. The base member has a locking portion at its distal end.
The mechanical clip further includes a retention member that configured to be depressed against the locking portion. In the locked, or closed, position the retention member and locking portion are configured to secure the piece of plastic sheeting therebetween.
[0012] In one aspect, a method for vapor mitigation in the construction of a building is disclosed.
The method includes utilizing a vapor mitigation apparatus having a vertical securing piece having a first end located and a second end, a horizontal foot located at the first end of the securing piece and extending away from the securing piece, and a mechanical clip located at the second end and configured to secure a piece of plastic sheeting. The method includes affixing the vertical securing piece to the circumference of the foundation wall such that the horizontal foot rest on the footing, placing a piece of plastic sheeting over the gas permeable layer, securing the ends of piece of plastic sheeting to mechanical clip thereby creating a vapor barrier over the gas permeable layer, and creating a slab of concrete by pouring a sufficient amount of concrete over the vapor mitigation apparatus and plastic sheeting.
[0013] Other aspects and features of the present invention will become apparent to those ordinarily skilled in the art upon review of the following description of specific embodiments of the invention in conjunction with the accompanying figures.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
[0034] FIG. 2 illustrates an embodiment of a schematic representation of an apparatus 70 of the present invention in use to reduce the amount of radon gas from seeping into a house. As illustrated, house includes a gas permeable layer 52 that is created below the building slab 60.
Surrounding the gas permeable layer 52 are the building's footing 54 and foundation wall 56. A
layer of plastic sheeting 58 is placed between the gas permeable layer 52 and the slab 60. The apparatus 70 is affixed to the foundation wall 56 by an adhesive 72 and rests against the footing 54. Further, the plastic sheeting 58 is secured to apparatus 70. When slab 60 is created by pouring cement over the footing 54, gas permeable layer 52, plastic sheeting 58 and foundation wall 56, the cement also encapsulates apparatus 70 therein. Thus, plastic sheeting 58 is maintained in place to create an airtight seal from radon leakage from the soil beneath the building. FIG. 2 illustrates some space between slab 60 and the footing 54, gas permeable layer 52, plastic sheeting 58, foundation wall 56, and apparatus 70. This is illustrative. When slab 60 is created, slab 60 will be directly against the footing 54, gas permeable layer 52, plastic sheeting 58, foundation wall 56 and apparatus 70. No space therebetween will remain.
