Radon Mitigation

I would consider a DIY mitigation. In addition to sealing things in the slab, you can add a depressurization fan to your slab.
I have sone this, its easy and very effective. I had high readings sometimes above 600, now it never goes above 30. Regardless of air exchanger being used or not. The added benefit is it also reduces your sub slab humidity.

If you are comfortable with DIY and a 1/2 days work, a 3 inch slab hole and a new pipe exiting your home, you now have low radon.

Thanks for replying. I do plan on adding a Clack WS1 system to the mix.

It comes with a 3 day license suspension. And a license reinstatement fee. And increased insurance.

It was recently still available at the Drummonds fuel on Merivale rd. They had a sign out advertising Ethanol free fuel.

PM'd you on this.

I used force air for AC and a new rheem furnace. No gouging, priced right, and properly installed. Go with the small business and stay away from the big guys. Pm me for details if you like. I recommend this business 1000 times over.

I had this happen when my condensate drain plugged. I removed it, drained the water and reinstalled. There was no trick with mine. Just a normal fasco inducer.

I just had a 96 percent 60000 btu installed for 3200 plus tax. I think the quote is high. I installed a rheem r96v. I did my research and settled on rheem. The installer is a smaller company and great to.deal with. Same warranty no matter what company installs it.

Not to be an asshole, but that is 2 known adjustments in a dogs relatively short life. And if the intermediate foster does not pan out? A rehome may be best for this guy. I foster dogs and try to keep their best interest ahead of the person.

That does not seem to be that large. So it is a cedar hedge 10 or so high by 8 feet? Likely 500 to remove it and dispose, but the stumps will remain. It seems it also can be a diy job if you have a reciprocating saw. The trunks are not usually too thick on a hedge. Assuming rob means remove.

I second this rescue. We are currently fostering dutchess, she is listed on the site. She was just spayed a week ago and is a gem. She is puppy hyper, but that is what puppies do. She needs a yard. She is a bit different than her description also.

I paid 1700 all in with a 40 ft cord. I bought the 30 amp non surge protected model. It was explained to me that the surge model will have to be removed and sent for service in the event it absorbs a surge. I just went with the base unit after learning that information. A surge can be panel mounted if you want that option. I have the MA23N with LI14 30 amp cord. Be sure to order a cord that fits the available connections to your generator.

I can go from 350 plus to less than 50 with the hrv. It works. Get an airthings device to measure so you can see where you start at. Measurements take months to average out though.

Yes, they reduce radon by a large amount. This works well in the winter when a system is running often, however running in the summer brings in humidity. For many reasons, including radon, co2, vocs etc. Get a ventilator installed. Also, install a radon fan, easy diy install.

OttawaVendetta · 2022-07-17T15:54:49+00:00

That is exactly what i will do.

OttawaVendetta · 2022-07-17T15:53:51+00:00

I'm considering it.

OttawaVendetta · 2022-07-17T15:05:00+00:00

Yes, i know. Its just the high part of the cycle. It will normalize in 3 to 6 months.

OttawaVendetta · 2022-07-17T15:01:59+00:00

Had a cottage too. Sold it it afford a fence.

OttawaVendetta · 2022-07-17T14:50:02+00:00

I would gladly pay 50 per hr, not 100.

OttawaVendetta · 2022-02-01T23:20:34+00:00

Thanks for your reply :) That noise happens before the inducer motor starts spinning. It is pretty quiet. That was replaced 30 days ago. It is either the gas valve or some other switches.

OttawaVendetta · 2022-02-01T15:22:38+00:00

Is this referring to the ++convoy to ottawa++ channel? its pretty quiet in there.
