At Inspect Montana, we provide comprehensive services to ensure your new home is safe and ready for you and your family. We’re excited to introduce our latest offering: Radon Mitigation System Compliance Inspections. This service is specifically designed for clients purchasing homes with existing radon mitigation systems. While these systems are vital for reducing radon exposure, proper installation and maintenance are crucial to ensure they function effectively and meet current standards. With our expert inspection, you’ll gain peace of mind knowing your home’s radon mitigation system is operating safely and complies with ANSI/AARST SGM-SF-2023 standards.
What’s Included in a Radon Mitigation System Compliance Inspection?
Our detailed inspection evaluates every critical component of the radon mitigation system, including:
Fan Placement: Ensuring the fan is located in compliance with standards, such as being outside living spaces to prevent leaks.
Exhaust Location and Direction: Verifying the exhaust is correctly positioned (e.g., 10 feet from openings, 4 feet above the nearest opening, or 20 feet above grade for horizontal discharges with rain caps).
Piping Slope and Insulation: Checking that horizontal piping is properly sloped for water drainage and insulated in unconditioned spaces with the appropriate R-value.
Sealing of Entry Points: Assessing whether cracks, utility penetrations, and sump covers are sealed using durable materials like polyurethane or silicone caulk.
Vapor Barrier Integrity: Inspect crawlspaces to ensure vapor barriers are securely attached and sealed to foundation walls.
System Components: Confirm the functionality and condition of fans, gauges, alarms, and other system parts.
Compliance with Standards: Ensuring the system aligns with ANSI/AARST SGM-SF-2023 guidelines to guarantee safety and efficiency.
With our Radon Mitigation System Compliance Inspection, you’ll receive a thorough report detailing the system’s current state, any needed repairs or adjustments, and recommendations to keep your home radon-safe.
