All-
Just Thought I would share with you a picture of the passive
radon system we were asked to activate last week. The builder claims this new
setup is helping pass the radon test. It is just two pipes run from the outside
footer drain to the surface. They wanted to know how much money they would
save if we just attached one of our motors to it. We explained to them there
was no guarantee it would work and they would be charged for two systems if we
had to tear it out and start over. They decided to abandon these pipes and let
the professionals install a nice interior unit.
Why do we distinguish between homeowners and builders? Their
lobbying groups try really hard to make everyone think they own the home they
are building so they can do whatever they want. Yet they have no more
knowledge of radon reduction than the typical homeowner. Maybe we should just
group them as one entity: homeowners.
