    Study Notes

    Regular Inspection and Maintenance

    • Regular inspections of radon mitigation system components are necessary, including fans, pipes, seals, and exhaust points.
    • Addressing issues promptly prevents system malfunction and radon leakage.
    • Regular inspections help to ensure the system's effectiveness.

    Monitoring and Testing

    • A monitoring plan is necessary to verify the system's performance over time.
    • Radon testing should be conducted periodically to ensure levels remain below acceptable limits.
    • Retesting of radon levels should occur every two years after installation of radon mitigation systems or HVAC repairs.
    • Retesting is also necessary after major modifications to a building, such as additions or changes to the HVAC system.

    Record Keeping

    • Detailed records of O&M activities must be maintained.
    • Records should include inspection dates, maintenance performed, and any repairs made.
    • Accurate record-keeping helps to ensure the system's effectiveness and identify potential issues.
