Description

If you enjoyed CERTI’s original Gnarly Tales the good news is that the series continues.  The bad news is that more weird and challenging situations continue to arise as measurement and mitigation professionals address radon in more and different situations.  This course delves into challenging situations that have been encountered and how they have been identified, diagnosed and successfully mitigated.  Included are cases where HVAC systems, weather, permeable soils, tight soils, complex foundations and other surprises have presented challenges requiring more in-depth investigations beyond simple “poke and hope” approaches.  The course is taught with the assistance of experienced radon professionals presenting real world cases-with solutions.

Course Includes:

  • Classroom Presentation video from 2022 AARST Conference
  • Online Quiz
  • Resources
  • Downloadable Course Certificate(no materials shipped)
