Will there be sections on QA/QP (quality assurance and protection)

I had a hard time when I changed from Radalink to Sun when I had to create my own QA/QP plan.

I look forward to the book.

Since when do we "inspect" for Radon?

I know I "test" for Radon, and report results according to EPA standards,
but "inspect" ?

[David C. Macy]

Good point!!

I could see the inspecting for the mitigation system!!

Maybe the tiltle should be How to perform radon testing and inspecting Mitigation systems.

More and more homes have radon systems. These systems don't last very long (most radon fans have but a 5 year warranty). Along with taking measurements, a complete radon inspection includes determining if a radon system exists, that it is in good working order, and that it is actually operating: http://www.nachi.org/comsop.htm#18

Also, a U-tube manometer only reveals if there is a vacuum in one portion of the system... and maybe it doesn't even do that. Builder installed sub-slab systems, block wall systems, crawl-space systems, and sub-slab systems that are drawing from a very good gravel base all pull so much air (high cfm coming out of exhaust) that no noticeable pressure difference is apparent at the U-tube.

Anyway, just checking the U-tube doesn't tell you if a radon system is in working order. Just as inspecting to see that the system is in working order doesn't tell you what the radon level is.

Nick,
Will the cost be about the same as the mold inspection book?
With SOP and procedures?
Set one aside for me, Please!
