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.
