Tom's given you all the information you need to get the ball rolling if you so choose. Please keep us informed on how this plays out. Very interesting

Considering all that is generally involved in the electrical part of a mitigation system, the guy has no business even using electricity if he has several violations just installing the wiring to a radon fan.

I'd be happy to enumerate a couple of them off the top of my head...

• The line to the radon fan was tapped off an existing ungrounded circuit in the nearest handy junction box in the basement
• The UF cable used was only stripped and in the box about 3".
• The "disconnect" for the radon fan was a snap switch in the basement, but the radon fan was on the exterior of the home.
• There was no disconnect within sight of the actual radon fan
• The particular radon fan used was not listed for a wet location
• The UF cable was exposed right on grade outdoors without additional mechanical protection.
• The UF cable had an improper support interval

I'm still taking care of this situation, so I'll post the outcome in the end.
