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.
