Because of this series I tested our house it was at 22! Now I just did all this bc of this series and now 1.3! Thanks!

I’m a home inspector and set radon tests 4+ times per week. I know of 1 person personally who was diagnosed with lung cancer as a result of radon. The test I set in their basement read 112 pc/L and the owner watched sports almost everyday in the basement for 25 years.

I love the way you dug that out, so efficient.

One of the few handymen out there wearing a Rolex as a daily. Like it!

Always a pleasure watching your video, but I'm glad a did. I had a mitigation system installed in my first in bought in the 90's. I just bought a house about 1 1/2 years ago and of course waived the inspection because you had to in order to buy the house. Well now my wife works from home and uses the basement as her office and just texted her to order a radon test. It's very common in PA to have radon. Thanks!!

You could use a 1/4”x18” pilot bit to find where you are outside and just drill from the outside. Would be much easier and safer that way. Great vid

I have a close friend who is a licensed Radon contractor. Radon is a serious, indoor air quality, environmental risk, too many people minimize it. Thank you for the videos.

Handyman, you get all the FUN! ( in a chipmunk voice)

I had my wife watch this one. She said, what a hole. Or something like that. Good job Handy.

To help your channel I've watched a commercial that told me too throw dirt or screws in a thugs face . That would make me one handed but I should feel safer

[TheJirish]

You make it look so easy. Though we know it's not really. Worth every penny to get it done.

I am a nrpp certified radon professional (I know it’s fancy) and the handyman is correct, radon has been around forever but it’s just now becoming a bigger issue now that we know/test for it. It’s my generation’s asbestos, and has data to show it causes lung cancer. Some states actually do regulate it. Where I live (Georgia) it is not. The EPA has some really good info on their website for h/o who are interested. They say levels need to be below 4.0 pci/l but there are no true “safe” levels. I would also say that the homedepot test he used is good but the tests we use have to be calibrated every year so having a professional test completed every couple years is recommended.

System looks great handy! Hopefully you took the exterior stack all the way above the roof line. That plenum was pretty amazing. If you need a job let me know 😂. To help the efficiency of your systems be sure to use that poly to seal all 1/8 or larger cracks in the slab, around any plumbing penetrations in slab (that are accessible) as well as around the perimeter in the cold joint between foundation walls and slab. Basically any potential gap/crack where the gas can enter.

Love the videos!

Excellent intro! Way to be a radon warrior...has a nice ring to it.

Growing up our "playroom" (whether at our house or a neighbors) was most often times the basement. At some point in Middle School I was given a Radon test kit as part of a science class project, and it was after bringing home the results of that test that we had a radon pump installed.
Probably did more harm smoking in my teens/twenties than Radon ever did, but it all adds up!

Your right about the whole selling your home thing. Had out home inspected and sure enough the wanted the money for the system. The crew came out and said they could run the pipe up through the roof and no-one would see it. I said no, they want the system so we should probably run that pipe right up the back side of the house so they can see it and make them feel safe. And you sir might want to consider a lung exam after having your face so close to that deadly hole.

We gotta get this sucked out with the sucker fan!

[nin]

Now we need a contractor to suck all the UV off your yard. Yknow that stuffs more dangerous than working inside the reactor room in a nuclear power plant lol

I think home sellers should start telling buyers to piss off. Offer a mutual release, the dickheads can go and purchase another home. Hah. I don't think they'll want to considering all of the mortgage fees and expenses as well as home inspection fees and appraisal fees that they've already paid. They'd have to do that ALL over again with another home. AND there's no requirement that the seller has to capitulate to the buyer's demands, either!
