[QUOTE="bilbo, post: 325431, member: 6965"] We are going to be doing this as soon as our siding is done. We haven't checked the levels yet, but if our past run of luck continues I'm sure it will be sky high, so I'm just planning out the system. There are now online Radon monitors available and I plan to get one and watch for a while before and long after the system is installed. We have one sump hole in the basement that has no piping into it and I think I'll use that. The other sump pit is tied into drain tile that sees daylight, so if I draw on that sump I'm guessing it will just pull surface air through the tile. It's purely conjecture, but we believe it may have been a factor in my Mom's recent death from lung cancer. Their previous home was in an area where Radon tends to be high. They lived there for 25+ years and hung out mostly in the basement. Slept down there too. There was no mitigation system, nobody knew or cared back then. Thinking it's not a health concern is foolish in my opinion. It's widely accepted radiation is a health concern. It's a fact that Radon is radioactive. Therefore, Radon could cause health issues.
