John Dirks Jr Posted January 29, 2009 Report Share Posted January 29, 2009 Where would you refer a person to find a list of qualified radon mitigation contractors? I know she'll ask for a recommendation and I don't want to name anyone specific. I want to direct her to a base where she can choose. Central Maryland is the area in question.

Jeremy Posted January 29, 2009 Report Share Posted January 29, 2009 Check with your state health dept. They may have a list like NY does. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Dirks Jr Posted January 30, 2009 Author Report Share Posted January 30, 2009 I found this list and forwarded it to my client. http://www.neha-nrpp.org/mitigation_template/MD.shtml Also, Maryland does not have a radon program so there isn't any state related info. I did find this document from Iowa. If one was to remove the word Iowa wherever it appears, and insert the word Maryland, do you think the info is worthy of sharing with clients? I just realized that there are some "Iowa" specific statistics that wouldn't be correct. However the general facts about radon should be good.

Tom Raymond Posted January 30, 2009 Report Share Posted January 30, 2009 A little off topic here, but...if there is a mitigation system present do you inspect it? How? I ask because there are several homes in my area that have have them, and I am sure that I will have to make that decision at some point.

Jeremy Posted January 30, 2009 Report Share Posted January 30, 2009 Radon test. Visually: is it operating, wired properly, vent above roof line, away from windows, securely mounted, etc. I think the specs. may be on the epa link noted above.

Tom ASHI RADON MITIGATION SYSTEM INSPECTION CHECKLIST There's one thing about the checklist that I don't agree with: I. INSPECTION RESULTS (complete only one of A, B or C) A. This home has an active radon mitigation system* No. The system does not appear to meet recommended design/installation and operating standards. Test the home to verify that the radon level is below 4 pCi/L. Have a qualified radon mitigator verify that the system is operating properly, and to repair or upgrade the system (as needed). It makes sense to me to have a system that hasn't been designed or installed correctly fixed first, then have it tested. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
