This review is from: Protecting Your Home from Radon: A Step by Step Manual for Radon Reduction (Paperback)

This book was recommended to me by a supplier of radon mitigation equipment and is excellent. It has more than adequate design and installation to allow a reasonably competent DIYer to design and install their own radon mitigation system. In addition, it covers the necessary safety precautions to take in the process.

If you don't plan to install your own system, but simply want to be informed as you work with a professional, then this book will also serve you well.

Now if I can just find a book of this type for septic system design...

This review is from: Protecting Your Home from Radon: A Step by Step Manual for Radon Reduction (Paperback)

The book is well organized, well illustrated, and easy to read. It covers important details thoroughly, and it offers practical advice to ease installation. There is nothing about it that seems to need improvement. A superior example of good, practical technical writing.
