Radon Challenges – Gnarly Tales from the Field

(226 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.

Description

This course addresses unique challenges to the radon professional including:

  • Buried Return Ducts
  • Untreated Adjacent Foundations
  • Wind Spikes
  • Working with Tight Soils
  • Highly Permeable Soils
  • Leaky Forced Air Ductwork
  • Inaccessible Crawlspaces
  • Emanation from Contaminated Building Materials
  • In-Floor Heating Systems
  • Post Tension Slabs

This course goes beyond simply identifying these concerns but actually presents solutions using real life case studies.  It also demonstrates the use of diagnostic equipment to aid one in identifying a problem and provides downloadable tools that the student can use for estimating pressure drop in mitigation systems, air flow as well as the significance of a radon emanation source.

Recorded with a live audience, the virtual student benefits from the formal instruction and contributions from the seasoned professionals who participated.

The format of the course combines video of presenter and attendees synchronized with powerpoint slides for an experience comparable to being “in the classroom” without the hassle, which has become a hallmark for CERTI courses.

Course Includes:

  • Video (can be paused and navigated via Table of Contents or Key Word Search)
  • Online Quizzes
  • Downloadable Course Certificate
  • 16 CE Credits  (Category 1)

  69. David

    Content and relevancy of topic to real life were the strong points. Sound quality was questionable at times mostly when Doug got input from the students. Would recommend this to any radon professional and a must to mitigators. Should help any mitigator with his or her business when encountering tough situations in the field.
