Smyrna Long-Term Test

I was pleased with the latest results of a long-term radon test from a job we completed last year in Smyrna, TN. Radon levels tested out at .5 pCi/L, after a year of exposure in the dining room. This house also has a young child, so all the better for everybody! (EPA limit is 4.0 pCi/L).

I am still working my temp. job in Florida, but hopefully I can get back in the groove after this job ends. I just got my PA radon license also, so it will be between Nashville or Philadelphia, although test-marketing in Philly has shown about 4x the demand of Nashville. Phila. PA is about 3x as expensive and crowded, so it will be a tough call, or maybe just open 2 offices, if I can organize it in the proper way.

Here is that report. Blogger usually shrinks it to about 1/4 original size:

Stuck on "Pause"

I am now stuck in the Florida panhandle for the foreseeable future, under a "temporary" work contract. Please feel free to email me for radon advice in the meantime, or request referrals to other qualified radon contractors.

I will be sure and delete this blog entry when I am again available for radon work in the Central Tennessee area.

Thanks.

Green Hills Crawlspace

I traveled up to Green Hills today to measure out this crawlspace. Although the owner did a nice job of laying down some thick plastic, radon levels remained unchanged in the living space above. Since radon measured below 15.0 pCi/L, I will propose the installation of a heat recovery ventilator (air exchanger).

Long Term Test Results

Here is the latest long term test result from one of our clients in Columbia, TN from the Spring of 2010. Their original radon level was around 30+ if I recall correctly. I remember this client watched my every move the entire 8 hours or so it took to do the work, and the attic during the last phase of installation was about 110 degrees. It definitely was a job I was hoping we passed the first time. They had scored about 1.5 on the short term test, thankfully, but the recent results from the the long term test (91 days to 12 months) showed even lower radon scores!

A Beautiful Thing.....

I got the radon test results back from that recent job with the really tight soil-the one with the curious cat?

Anyways I got the radon down to below a .5, super-good results for a house like this. Now I can get paid!!!

Radon Inquiries

Thank you for your recent radon inquiries. I had to leave town for a while on business, but should return by June 1st for good. Sorry about that!
