Thank you for your time.


So you want to blow your heat outside? Costly. If you have a dryer down
there it takes care of it if you exhaust it outside. Radon leaches very
slowly. You can evacuate the air out in 5 minutes and be clean for a week..


radon tests prohibit any kinds of exhausts, homes must be closed and
sealed during test period.

mostly this comes up at home resale time. new buyer demands test
