Radon: What is it? How to Get Rid of It

[@alsampra2298]

The real problem is that the mitigating company usually does the testing which is a conflict of interest.

[@MrPatdeeee]

Amen, amen and AMEN! I would imagine that in over 75% of the installations of Radon protection; there is shoddy work and/or downright scams. Oh indeed yes. Sadder is that is happening in EVERY single thing; when it comes to home repairs. If you haven't had this to happen, you are either ignorant to this malady; or you have not "lived" yet.

[@Mike1614b]

its not a real problem. radon tests are hard to fake.

[@RileyNRV]

Usually the buyer does a Radon test, if the levels are high, the seller uses a different company to perform a second test. If the averages of the two tests are above 4.0 piCO, the seller has a mitigation system installed. Your worry of conflict of interest isn't present in this type of transaction.

Hey Ron! Fantastic video, very informative and well put together -- thank you very much for sharing it! I have to agree with many others, though: a test to show the radon levels after the installation is a must, and I would be curious to hear what you have to say about the concerns of rain water entering the system from that seemingly exposed final section of pipe.

[@drums25K]

yes they need to add a rain cap on top similar to what chimneys have so that water cannot get in but radon can get out

[@gitsoakville]

The whole exercise is undermined by the failure to perform and demonstrate an 'after' test to determine whether the installation has made any difference to the radon level in that basement. Shame.

Hi, Ron, I saw your video and found it to be very educational and helpful. My question to you, is it a problem to have the top of the PVC pipe located at the highest point of the roof installed, facing outward the side instead of upward? In other words use an elbow shape instead of a straight shape? won't the rain falling straight into the pipe be an issue?

We have a nice pipe open at the top leading straight down to an electric fan. Maybe it never rains where you are.

[@Mike1614b]

the rain that falls into that exhaust pipe will go back to the soil under the slab. Some states require the top of the exhaust pipe to look exactly like the one in this video, and in many states mitigators turn the top down to exclude rain

[@JM-nh8yp]

My radon fan is upside down. Its literally pumping the radon into my home! Get this: My new system looks very professional. But as I said, I discovered that my fan is upside down!! I was suspicious because a crack in the floor next to the radon pipe is blowing air into the house! It should be sucking down into the dirt. (actually should have been sealed) Next, my manometer says 4.8. (seemed high) Next, I climbed on the roof. My vent pipe is sucking down!! Finally, my radon level went from 4.6 to 6.8! And that's away from the room with the cracked floor. I'm currently testing over that crack. In about 40 more hours I'll get a reading. I bet its sky high over that crack. The installer needs to fix this. Hasn't called me back yet.

You want above roofline so its past living space, no sense blowing it out basement to breath it on second floor. It is moving air from under slab not in the space so shouldn’t affect HVAC. If it does suck in some conditioned air what is your preference getting cancer or saving a few $ a month?

[@mikebolling6644]

Is that Schedule 40 Pipe being used for your Radon Mitigation System?? It is required by Code that Schedule 40 Pipe be used. Some contractors also use gutter material. I am Certified with the NRSB (National Radon Safety Board) and always use Schedule 40 pipe. Contractors use the other types of pipe because it is much cheaper than Schedule 40 which means more money in their pockets! However, it will not pass if the right person sees it and knows what to look for. I believe in doing things right and giving my customers what they pay for! Nothing less!!! Someone mentioned the fan being outside and water being in contact with it..... certain fans ARE designed to be on the exterior and also the Radon Mitigation System SHOULD be slightly sloped so that water/condensation that does enter the pipe will drain back underneath the slab.

[@shawnp8429]

Yes sir, they used thin wall drain pipe 🤣🤣🤣

[@Xoletta]

Hi Mike Bolling, have you ever heard of Perma Seal? They install something like a 'French Drain' INSIDE the house, all along the outside perimeter, which guides any incoming water to the sump pump. I have this in my home, but didn't understand enough about radon to feel concerned at the time of installation. After knowing more, I AM concerned, now. I have a hundred year old home in Chicago with a painted concrete slab foundation, and now no apparent way to seal off anything. Do you have any thoughts on this? Thanks.

[@wd8dsb]

Hi Mike, your code might say schedule 40 is required, but that would just be for your specific location. Too many people think that because their code requires something that the code is universal. While I am on it, lots of people commenting negatively on the internet about fan being placed in the basement, but lets set some things straight. Actually Canada says the basement is the best location to prevent damage to the fan. I live in Fishers Indiana, and the city allows installation of the fan in the basement. If you think about it, if you don't allow the Fan to be located in the basement, then you should not allow gas furnaces or gas water heaters to be located in the basement. As Canada says regarding radon fan installation, "properly installed fans and pipes will not leak radon into the building and are usually installed in the basement". I will soon be installing my Radon Fan in the basement, no doubt about it (regardless of EPA recommendation). The NRSB is a money maker, and has nothing to do with being a government regulator agency.

[@tgilldesign]

I just purchased a home tester, made in the USA - the model was the SafetySiren Pro4 (4th generation) unit. I also purchased a 2 pack of the Accustar Alpha Track carbon radon testers to run alongside the SafetySiren electronic tester to compare the two for long term readings. My last reading was done 3 years ago with the a pair of the Accustar Alpha Track carbon testers only..... and they yielded a reading of 2.6 pCl. I have had the Safety Siren running for 2 1/2 days and the initial 2 day (48 hr) reading was 4.0 pCl..... I noticed last night the number has dropped to 3.9 and this morning it is at 3.8. I am wondering if the average level reading will continue to go down over time as I test it for long term radon levels.... due to radon fluctuations??? The owners manual said to not be alarmed at initial high ratings over the course of the calibration period of 2 days and that the longer term average is what should be focused on after it has been in place for several days to months. Would you find that to be accurate??

I've had 2 houses so far & we've never heard about radon until now, buyers should be informed about radon even if they're not in a high risk area so they can prepare more for it before putting an offer on a house.

[@HPPalmtopTube]

there is a scientific hypothesis called the "radiation hormesis" hypothesis, which is just what it is at this point, a hypothesis proposed by a small amount of scientists, and many other scientists are opposed to it's validity. Personally, I do think there is a possibility that our bodies developed an adaption at the DNA repair/cellular level to deal with living in areas with higher than usual natural background radiation, as many early homo sapiens probably lived in caves or eathen/mud walled huts (which could contain high amounts of radium, thorium, uranium and other naturally occuring sources of radiation in the soil/rock. Natural background radiation coming from the soil can vary widely geographically and can get up to 20x or more the standard level in certain places, also certain solar storm activity or gamma ray bursts coming from far away stellar events in the galaxy can also rain down unusually high levels of radiation onto us, for hours, days or more, so our bodies probably developed systems to cope with this. But claiming that radon is good for our bodies and the more you inhale the less lung cancer you get is highly exagerated. Maybe tiny amounts can have a beneficial effect, for example the systems in the cell will trigger the repair process of the damage done to the DNA by the small dose of radon, and in the process this will also fix other smaller damage to DNA from other sources too small to trigger the repair process, which, if not repaired, will slowly add more and more damage to the DNA and result in cancer over a timespan of decades or more. Then again only a very specific and tiny amount of radon could theoretically do this, and anything higher than that dose will rapidly cause severe, non-repairable damage to the cell's DNA which could cause cancer after a certain time. So in the end, it's probably safer to get rid of the radon in your house completely, unless you have a sensitive multi-point measurement system that reliably measures the radon levels in your house and can guarantee you're getting that tiny, beneficial dose. It's worth noting though that there is no data on what that dose would be, it would require many studies with large populations. That's my 2 cents...

The radon system should be slightly sloped back towards the slab. This will allow any water that enters the pipe, to drain back underneath the slab. A few other things I noticed, once the hole is made through the slab, you should reach inside the hole and remove as much gravel as possible, to make a cavity. Also Schedule 40 pipe should be used from at least the suction point to the bottom of the fan. I personally use Schedule 40 pipe from start to finish.
