  • Retirement of Jim Burkhart
    Jim,
    Thank you just doesn't seem strong enough for all that you have done for the Radon industry. Your knowledge and humor will be deeply missed.Wishing you the best retirement!!! I'm hoping we will all see you around.
  • What's wrong with the Rn system they ask.
    I would hope that this was a homeowner DIY job and not someone calling themselves a radon professional. OMG! Why even bother to put a pipe on.
  • New Guide for Health Care Providers!
    Fantastic job! Thank you to all those involved in the creation of this wonderful guide!
  • Long-term Tamper proof box/cage?
    I totally agree with you Bob. We let our client know this up front. As you said they want a low number. That was the main reason for my post. I wanted to see if anyone had used anything that was successful and didn't interfere with the results. Thanks for responding.
  • Long-term Tamper proof box/cage?
    Thanks . The client wants something that can't easily be removed or pulled off the wall. I have suggested the use of the Tyvek envelopes but they wanted something more attached.

  • Dr. Payasada (Paul) Kotrappa
    A very sad day. All our condolences to Dr. Kotrappa's family and to the family at Rad-Elec. He will truly be missed. He was for sure a pioneer in our industry.
  • Lung Cancer Awareness Month Activities in Washington, DC
    A Big "THANK YOU" to you and Kyle and everyone involved at CanSar for all your efforts and endless amounts of time and energy! Our industry is very fortunate to have organizations such as yours continuing to get in front of people showing the impact radon has had on lives and families across the country. Great job!
  • Multifamily retest via Alpha Track
    Hi Jeff,
    My dad always said, "the only stupid question is the one you don't ask." We deal with these types of situations on a daily basis. In my professional opinion I would recommend testing all ground floor units in the four buildings,especially if this is being requested after prior readings were elevated.
    In the perfect world if you had copies of the prior reports, that would be helpful in determining what protocol was followed initially and what units were actually tested in all the buildings. Not having this information, one would have to consider this as initial testing. If this is not a HUD project, then the 100% plus 10% of the upper units in all the buildings would apply per the ANSI/AARST standards. If you are protecting your clients interest in this property and covering your assets :-) performing a full survey should be the way to go in order to determine the need for mitigation at the entire property. I do realize however that budgets are always an issue and you have to deal with that as well. If the testing is only performed on the four buildings and without the full knowledge of the prior results your testing would have to be considered a limited screening and not a full radon survey. This also can be the push your client may need to gain access to copies of the original testing reports as well. I hope this helps.

    Hi Tony,
    We actually ask for basic information on our forms. We have several. Name, phone# and email address. And of course what service/question they need or have. We have found that the people will let you know what information they are willing to share online.
    Email tends to be the most popular. Hope this helps
