What is the recommended action if duct piping is incorrectly installed?

The recommended action of correcting the installation before system operation is essential to ensure safety and effectiveness in any radon mitigation system. Incorrectly installed duct piping can lead to insufficient radon removal, which poses a health risk to the occupants. By addressing the installation error before the system becomes operational, you ensure that the mitigation system effectively reduces radon levels as intended.

Furthermore, dealing with the issue proactively allows for proper functioning of the system, ensuring compliance with safety standards and regulations. Taking action to correct the duct piping prevents future problems that could arise from neglecting the installation errors, such as the potential for higher radon concentrations in living spaces.

In contrast, leaving the installation as is, monitoring it passively, or informing clients without taking corrective measures would likely lead to continued health risks and could result in regulatory issues or liability concerns. Corrective action reinforces best practices in radon mitigation and prioritizes the health and safety of the home’s occupants.
