Radon System Troubleshooting - The U-tube

[@elmerhernandez8994]

Just bought my house and this is literally what it was. Saved me a call to the contractor. GREAT TIP!! Thank you!

[@cubbiesrul]

Thank you! You just saved me a contractor visit!

[@lifetimeradonsolutions9498]

Glad I could help!

Thank you for the tip!!! Terminix moron might have knocked the u-tube and it was reading lower pressure from a week ago. I freaked out as the fan is working. Thanks to this video we saved time and money getting a radon service provider from coming in to check something silly. Thank you, thank you, thank you!!!

[@scott1099]

Thank you for that tip - i was about to call the installer for no reason

[@brianthompson1039]

No problem! Glad we could help!

[@rickarchambault4756]

That's exactly what my problem was! Other videos didn't mention what you did! tHX!

[@Chernobylii]

Same thing just happened to me! Thanks so much!

My U-tube was knocked off, spilling all of the oil out. Can I refill the tube myself or does a contractor need to do this?

[@Bernyleigh]

Does radon seep out of this hole if the tub falls out?

[@marcusbiller867]

Of course. You can seal it with radon seal

[@sj7601]

I had a radon test done on a newer house that came back 2x the radon action level, and they have a mitigation system.. is this normal or is something most likely wrong with the system (I did not get to look at the u-tube unfortunately)?

[@lifetimeradonsolutions9498]

Hey! Thanks for the comment... it is pretty unlikely but definitely can happen. I would suggest having the mitigation company come out and do pressure field extension testing to determine the issue. They should know what that is. Hope this helps!

What is the fluid is completely gone? The fan is still working

[@briansthompson39]

Hey! If the fluid is all gone that typically means that the manometer was either made with a crummy fluid that just evaporated OR the small hole drilled into the pipe that the tubular portion of the manometer feeds into is in the wrong spot and basically the pressure of the system sucked the fluid out because there was no trap or bend in the tube to preclude it from doing so. It’s as simple as having a contractor come out and reinstalling it

[@KarenGarcia]

Awesome! Thank You so much
