How To Remove Radon From A Home With Slab AND Crawlspace

I've done this in quite a few of my videos, but it was usually part of a bigger picture. This video will focus on how to remove radon from homes where there is a basement slab AND an unvented crawlspace. Homes that usually fit this profile are split level homes. Hope this helps out there! 😀

Subscribed! Heavy Kansas DIYr here. Upgrading a new home passive system with a Festa AMG Maverick since up in the attic I just completed my nice plankway over the rafters/insulation! Curious as to why some attic setups use two elbows with condensate bypass wye tube versus just the inline setups I’m seeing? I see Suncourt fans require the condensate bypass for warranty but don’t see any requirements for Festa or even the mention of it. Are some fans just engineered better to take the moisture passing by? Thanks for any insight. Plan to watch more vids!

Love the videos, been waiting for some detail on the crawlspace setup. I have about 130 sq ft unvented crawl about 5 ft above bsmnt slab. Is one perforated 2 inch pipe sufficient? I had not thought of a valve, but I will put one in now, but how do you estimate the adjustment? Last, is sealing the crawl door really necessary since the dirt was sealed with 6mil plastic? Thanks.

Thanks Paul. Those $10 fittings add up. Hope it helps.

Another great video. Will you be producing an extended, mix version of your song? lol

If you are using the black corrugated with slits or the PVC that has multiple holes along its length does the slope still matter since any water that gets in the pipe would drain out the slits/holes along the length of the pipe?

Hi Shane. Good point there. The short answer is no. Just assume water will show up and my advice is to be thinking about how to discharge it.
