Re: Building a radon-resistant home.
Is this really done properly? It looks like they used solid schedule 20 under the slab... which should be the 1" perfed piped, and then schedule 20 from the floor to the roof.... which has to be schedule 40. That's EPA/ASTM/AARST protocols, and has been since about 1991. Lots of bends which slows down flow... and then the attic run, which kills the entire thing's vertical flow. Once that attic pipe gets cold, flow will stop.
