Delving into new construction homes often reveals intriguing
systems designed for a variety of purposes. Ashi-Certified Inspector Britt B.
offers insights into passive radon venting, a noteworthy feature found during
the pre-drywall inspection.
This distinctive pre-installed or passive radon gas net indicates a proactive approach to mitigate radon gas, a potential health concern. The inclusion of this system in the construction process carries two significant implications. One possibility is that the builder is addressing a history of radon gas issues within the development, taking measures to make future mitigation easier. However, the absence of an active fan characterizes it as a passive system, designed to allow natural airflow to disperse radon gas.
Inspector Britt B.'s observations underscore the importance
