    I thought it was great! After years of being a Radon Mitigator, I am happy we are finally getting some cities to require a permit. There are a lot of bad mitigators we compete with that don’t follow the protocols, but we do need some education on the building inspector side. Some of these guys don’t know what they’re looking at.

  68. Brent –

    more ways to explain radon to clients.
