😂 You’re probably right!

@AmericanRadonMitigation you did show what most construction workers do and that's keep it moving good job

Thanks, bud!

Yes, that's correct. The concert floors in Minnesota are not structural like the footings, so removing that much soil is not a concern. The 3.5-inch concrete slab can easily bridge the tunnel.

@@AmericanRadonMitigation thanks so much for that quick response! Your channel is fantastic and is certainly saving lives. Take care!

Thanks for reminding us why we do it!

How is it pointless if the radon is high before mitigation and low after?

💪

Thank you for your feedback. You may find this video helpful: kzbin.info/www/bejne/rXWWZ4eVpL6SaZYsi=B87Fi1czR_EFbfss

You get 5 or 10-minute readings, depending on your selected mode, rather than a one-hour average with EcoQube.

Thank ya!

We typically don't draw through the sump cover. Instead, we locate the drain tile with a sewer camera, core through the concrete floor, and tap into the drain tile system’s perforated piping below the slab. It does not damage the foundation. The concrete floors here in Minnesota are nonstructural, but that might not be the case in other areas. For instance, some homes have post-tension cables that run through the slab. Hitting one of those cables can cause it to violently rip out of the slab, which could be deadly-or so I'm told anyway.

I'm curious what makes you say it's a scam?

I have had a handful of customers get or pass away from lung cancer. Their doctors suspected radon as the cause. However, I'm not sure how they came to that conclusion. Some people have told me that several of their pets have passed away over the years and that their vet somehow suspects radon.

😂

The Corentium (Airthings) Home model 2350 is black in color and is a Home Depot-exclusive version that can be found in-store only and cannot be purchased online. ​ The 223 model is the gray model and works the same way. The only difference is the color and packaging.

Thank you, Bob! We don't discuss pricing on KZbin since some customers expect it to remain the same years later.

Or when the bandages are too far away.

I'm curious what makes you say that.

The work looks good though

Thanks. Water is too messy for indoor use, in my opinion. We usually use a rotary hammer when the floor is thick enough not to crumble to pieces like this one. I've had this core bit for years and have used it about 20 times. I'm good with replacing it more often if it means less mess and time spent cleaning it up.

We use water and a real core drill when we core through a foundation from outside. I just don't carry the drill in the van because it takes up so much space.

Simulate a small room with pipe running through it and light the fire inside the room and see how that works out.

I'd be happy to if you build it!

Radon can diffuse through concrete. Homes with thicker slabs still create suction on the soil, drawing in the radon gas.

👍

😆

The radon mitigation standards require two or more gallons for SSD systems. The home in this video has drain tile. We were trying to get better PFE in the center and near the walkout side of the house, so we added the third suction point you see here.

In case you have a bad monitor. I once had someone mitigate based on his Safety Siren Pro 3 reading 26 pCi/l. His post-mitigation Air Chek result was less than 0.3 pCi/L. His Safety Siren was still reading 26 after mitigation. Either his monitor was bad, or he never reset it after mitigation.

Thank you, fine sir.

@@WestonMorrisdoBrasil thank you!

Glad it was helpful!

👍

What makes you say that?

You should see me dance.

You're welcome. Check out section 6.4 of the radon mitigation standard. standards.aarst.org/SGM-SF-2023/24/index.html

Nope.

👌

Ehh. Big Radon wants a slice of the pie now.

😂 I wish we were able to control the KZbin algorithm!

Glad it was helpful!

Yes, a radon mitigation system can help dry out the soil below your home and mitigate any other soil gases or VOCs.

It’s common for a house built in 1908 to have a thin floor like this here in Minnesota. Drain tile wasn't common until the 1980s, and a vapor barrier below the slab until the 2000s.
