Setting a Flush Radon-Vent Sleeve Through a Finished Pinellas Patio

Mitigation contractors and plumbers often punch a vent through a finished Pinellas patio after the hardscape is already sanded. The result is a proud pipe, a ring of loose joints, and washout every time the roof leader shares that corner. PaverForge Hardscapes sets a flush sleeve while the field is open so the vent can be serviced without tearing a four-foot halo.

Collar, pitch, and lift-out units

We cut a clean opening, set a rigid sleeve with a flush collar at finished grade, and rebuild the surrounding units on compacted base — not on leftover sand. Two or three pavers around the collar stay unsanded until the mechanical trade signs off, then we lock the joints. The patio still pitches two percent away from the house so the collar is not a dam.

When the pipe is already through the field

If the vent is already proud of the pavers, we lift a local pocket, drop the sleeve, and reset a soldier ring that hides the cut. Do not foam the gap and hope. Foam shrinks, sand runs, and the next storm opens the joint. Send a photo of the pipe and the nearest slider to 727-490-9798 and we will tell you whether it is a pocket repair or a larger re-pitch.
