RADON
Has anyone ever treated their basement for RADON? Has anyone
experience or recommendation about this company and product: http://www.radonloc.com/index.html this appeals to me because obviously there wont be that fan running 24 hours a day, and it claims to solve the problem. Thanks, Fish |

I have a mitigation system, fan and piping under slab. I also have a device
that measures the air pressure difference to tell me the system is functional. Now, the piping was installed, just in case, during construction. After construction a test was done. When radon levels were detected all we needed to do was add the fan and the gauge. The fan is in the attic, piping runs to below slab. I cant hear the fan, I do not even know the system is running. I have no idea how much it costs to operate. Cant be too much. I would say this, its my opinion, that if you have an older house to not to worry about radon. The houses are so leaky that the radon will dissipate on its own anyway. If you have a new airtight home then it could be some cause for concern although that is debated by some as well.

Read the topic "Radon - is it really a problem?" in this newsgroup. I posted several suggestions in that thread, under a different name. One main entry point for radon is the gap between the floor and the wall; the floor is poured close to the end of construction, and technically independent of the walls. You will have to seal all the way around the edge with a polyurathane caulk. The EPA has a whole series of books available on the topic (not sure if they still do). I read them all. Their conclusion is that the only system that is effective is a SSD (sub-slab depressurization) system. YMMV fish wrote: Has anyone ever treated their basement for RADON?
