Why Radon in Crawl Space Homes Needs a Different Mitigation Approach
I have spent enough time in crawl spaces to know they are not the most pleasant part of the job. Tight, dusty, and often damp, they present a unique set of challenges when it comes to radon mitigation. While the general public often thinks of radon as a problem for basements, the reality is that a crawl space can be just as effective at drawing soil gas into a home. The physics are the same: a pressure difference between the soil and the house pulls radon-laden air through c
