What is advised upon completion of an ASD system installation?

Upon completion of an ASD (Active Soil Depressurization) system installation, it is critical to conduct at least one PFE (Post-Installation Radon Measurement) measurement. This step is essential to ensure that the system is functioning correctly and effectively reducing radon levels within the home to safe levels. The PFE measurement confirms that the ASD system is achieving its intended purpose of minimizing radon exposure to occupants, and it should be performed using a reliable testing method.

Performing a measurement at this stage not only validates the installation but also provides reassurance to the homeowner about the efficacy of the mitigation efforts undertaken. Following up with this testing allows for any necessary adjustments or improvements to be made if the radon levels remain elevated, thus ensuring the health and safety of the occupants.

While inspections and notifications to city officials may also be involved in the process, the PFE measurement is the critical factor in verifying the success of the radon mitigation strategy, which is why it is the advised procedure immediately following the installation of an ASD system.
