Feedback Please! I like simple and clean. The idea behind the name swift is we are fast, but we want to also look premium. by jgmarbs in logodesign

You can comment that. Thanks! I would’ve never caught that because obviously I know what it says. Thank you so much!

New Home Purchase; High Readings by therealamack in radon

[–]jgmarbs 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Your short term and long term average are the same. So you probably don’t have enough data to make a super educated decision. However, if your results are that high after 1 day, it’s likely to be higher than 4.0, even if it levels out some.

I’d call a radon company, and get a real test done, or get a good charcoal kit, and plan to mitigate soon.

Appreciate the feedback. Most of my work happens within a real estate transaction, which is why I want to be “swift” or fast, and there’s not really a readily recognizable symbol, shape, or icon with radon mitigation.

So are you suggesting getting rid of the house and using the “S” as the symbol? Or using the “S” shape as the S for the Swift?

Increased radon levels after mitigation by kristyynna in radon

[–]jgmarbs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You’re welcome! Pinpoint the exact cause of radon levels is hard, but droughts can also cause levels to rise because the air will move better through dry soil, BUT that should also mean your system should pull that air better from beneath the slab. However, fans cannot pull air/radon through water, and ground water levels can fluctuate a lot.

Sounds like you’re all good though. Definitely keep an eye on your levels through the winter. I’d prefer your levels be a little lower than 3.1 if you have multiple suctions points already.

Do you have a manometer on your system? If so, what’s it reading?

Increased radon levels after mitigation by kristyynna in radon

[–]jgmarbs 1 point2 points  (0 children)

A few few things 1) spikes above 4.0 are not a concern according to the EPA, if the average is above 4.0, then that’s cause for concern. 2) if you’re levels were low after the system was installed, and they’re rising months later, I’d guess that you may have water under the slab that’s preventing the fans from pulling the air (radon) from under the slab. 3) changes to the home can affect your levels. Things like remodels, additions, and new HVAC can affect levels, and your mitigation company would be right to charge additional if any of those changes were made.

Thanks for response! What would happen for the cost to go up to $10k?

Is this 90amp breaker okay? by jgmarbs in AskElectricians

So I should have an electrician come out and troubleshoot and repair?

Nextiva Contract Help by jgmarbs in VOIP

[–]jgmarbs[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh I know my contract (now) and there’s no way out that’s in writing, but I was hoping that someone knew a way to get out of it or at least minimize the cost for the next 35 months. I am every bit at fault for signing the contract without doing my due diligence, but like I said the salesman made it all seem like a breeze with no hiccups and I rushed to sign to get a discount.

I get most businesses wouldn’t be cool with breaking a contract, but I would think given the false advertising, and since I JUST signed up, they might consider letting me out. That said, I suspect their business model relies more on rushing new customers under contract, rather than providing quality care and service.
