Radon Challenges – Gnarly Tales from the Field

(230 customer reviews)

$225.00

This course explores techniques for going a little deeper in interpreting measurements as well as how to mitigate those tough houses with inaccessible crawlspaces, buried return ducts, and other crazy construction practices that make our lives interesting. We delve into these topics using real life case studies that have happy endings. These are more than a series of Fractured Fairy Tales. We explore a process for assessing unique situations you can use in the future. This course is designed for both the seasoned professional who has seen a thing or two and the novice who will eventually encounter these types of situations
