Certainly OT: Radon
Anyone have experience with Radon mitigation, either air or water? Thanks.

I have had to have the treatment on two houses that I have had. They use a positive ventilation fan system to extract the air/gases under the foundation, and route the gases through a wall and up out the to outside using 3" PVC pipe. The fan runs 24/7. It is expensive. Most realty/house purchase inspections require it in many locations any more.

My aunt's house in Canada has a radon issue in basement. House is about 150 years old. Rock for the foundation came from a mine that later became an uranium mine!
Federal government plastered walls with something special, put in concrete floor replacing dirt, nice. Then as Tinman states a fan running 24/7. Electricity for fan is not metered with house. Every year a tech comes to check levels and be sure the fan is running. |

Lot of it around this area in the shale.
I've tested my crawl space a few times and not strong enough to need treatment.

Radon
I had a house in Minneapolis area. Was built in 1988. Had basement tested and radon was above safe level. Had a fan system that put negative pressure under basement floor. Tat brought radon level down to the safer level. Believe it cost $1500 fifteen years ago.
There are firms that specialize in this. |

by greedy outfits.
