Why would you drill through the lid holes rather than using a marker or something to mark each hole, then removing the lid to drill? If it was me I would surely damage the lid.

What are radon readings through out all basement where only one suck point is from sump?

What are radon readings through out all your basement after installing the system where only one suck point is from a sump ?

A question: I have a sump pit in my furnace room. Can I drill a 4 inch hole and install my mitigation pipe 3 feet away from the pit? I would rather have the pipe closer to the other side of the room.

What size staples at?

If you use a 2x4 board with a 12-inch carpet width, can you double up one side so wood shows?

I have a finished basement with high radon levels. I want to install the mitigation system myself. I do not have a sump pump hole since I live in an area with low ground water levels. What added steps do I need to install the system, i.e. cut a concrete hole in basement floor. How big does the hole need to be, and is a condensate pipe still needed?

Great job, can I ask a question if you don't mind? I have an existing passive system PVC pipe from the basement to the attic. I bought a fan that I'll install. My question is if it's ok to put the fan in the basement instead of in the attic? In the attic it's a bit inconvenient to reach. My current level is 4.7pCi/L so it's not crazy high, so would it be ok for the fan to be at the basement level pulling the radon up or is it much better and safer to put it in the attic to make sure that radon gets out of the house? Thanks for any input.

how long are the SS staples?

That was for side bunks ,guess bottom bunks would be done as described

@michaelcollins1745 20 seconds ago I've seen lots of videos that use this or similar methods but disagree with them all. Stapled seam should be on the bottom of bunk so no wood or staples are exposed on either side. And material should be cut so length only extends an inch and a half to 2 inches past the ends of the wood. This way the ends can be tucked in and closed up like wrapping a christmas present with staples to hold the ends together. This method I mention requires the proper width carpeting for the size of your bunks so no wood is left exposed.

Do you have a parts list for the condensate bypass? That would be greatly appreciated. Great video

Do you need to drill another hole on the slab and add PVC pipe to outside for decompression or just using the sump is okay?

Thanks

3 years later and this was the best and most helpful, straight to the point video.

you do good work.

where is the fan getting air to push out from?

Good install. One thing you probably should check - not sure your manometer is adjusted correctly. This is a problem for most installs because people don't realize the glass tubes can slide up or down in the bracket. Your vid shows it is pulling vacuum , but, the other side is setting at zero. Zero the gauge. To do this, just pull out the clear tube, and slide the glass up or down to get both sides at the zero mark. The lower the vac pull, the higher the airflow, so with a semi-accurate measurement, the fan manual will then tell you how much actual airflow you are getting. Bottom line is what you have already figured out with the use of these terrific digital gauges - your radon levels dropped radically. Well done.

Nice job, so water coming from the top exit makes it way into the drain and back into the slap?

I'm about to do mine...I bought carpet glue, a long with staples do you think that's necessary? Or can I take it back to recoup some money?

Love it. Thank you

Hey there. Thanks for the video! Such a simple trick. Worked great!

Notice any quality of health changes? Seems like this radon removal was a fad of the 2010’s…. No?

That was great thank you

How did you size your fan. Any estimating tools you used? Or did you get a professional estimate?

thanks for the video, how did you get power to the outdoor outlet via the house , direct wire connected to indoor outlet or new line from electrical box, dedicate line ?

What does a person do if the catch pan for their water heater drains to the sump pit? Would one just evacuate the slab directly and merely seal the sump pit? (Trap on catch pan)

Very nice install! I plan to put a 90 on the pipe exit and on the roof. We have Radon at 35 pCi/L

Thanks

P

Nice video. Why didn’t you just install the fan inside the home just above the dome?

Cheers! Great video!

Exactly how NOT to do it

LMAO 🤣 🤣 🤣 Cut the carpet LOL

What kind of staples are you using and where did you get them? I know they are SS but are they 1/4" crown and how long are they? It looks like you are using 1/4" crown, do those seem to hold well enough?

Fantastic Video Thanks Very Much! Do It Yourself Learning Made Easy!

Don't use pressure treated boards on aluminum boats though. They contain copper and will corrode the boat.

Great video thanks

2x6 ?

I thought the outer diameter of the pipe for 3 inch is 3.5 inch, how do you cut s hole using 3inch hole saw??? Does a 3 inch hole saw cut a bigger hole than 3 inch to fit the pvc outer diameter?

do you have a link to the 3 inch screw in adapter going into the radon pipe hole? Does it need to be rated sch 40?

Nice clean job. That’s how I’m going to do mine. Thanks

If you start stapling from the middle and move towards your ends, it will reduce the puckering in your carpet as you move along.

You seem to have room in the basement to put the radon fan, is there a reason you didn't install it inside the basement rather than outside the house as you did?

By adding that 1" drain that bypasses the radon fan you have effectively introduced a huge leak in the system. The fan is going to be pulling air down from that drain instead of from your basement. Did you add a manometer on the inside PVC to test for negative pressure?

Hi, may I know if the fan can only be installed outdoor or it is ok to install indoor?

How many snow shovels can one man use?

Man thanks so much for making this video. I’m buying a house that already has a sump pump and I want to install a radon mitigation system. This will be very helpful.

Thanks for your tutorial. I notice you have quite the collection of snow shovels. Another hobby?

I guess these bunks have invisible magic anchors that attach them to the trailer.
