Default Fed up with Radon


Mission complete and levels have still been lowering since finishing it up
yesterday afternoon.

I couldnt get 1 inch PCV piping under there so I used 5 �1/2 inch �PCV pipes
painted black. �And used five 45 degree angle plastic elbows close to the
slab connection. � � I put a long thin rock on top of the pipes before
pouring the dirt in. � So far so good.

Haller, this so called Passive Radon Control wouldnt pass inspection if I
said im using it for radon ?

And when you say radon is heavier then air. �Dont you mean lighter ? � So
that it could escape out ?


radon gas is heavier than air, you want the pipe utlets pointing down.

looks like yours are up in air

at home sales time buyer will have radon test. if it comes back ok,
then why worry?

you shopuld probably tell them what the pipe does, but the buyer will
be more interested in the level.
