Radon and Slabs

Radon isn’t a problem if your house is on a slab, right? To find out I went to my trusted inspector and radon tester, and this was his reply…

Radon gas comes up from the earth at a ground level slab just as it does under the basement slab.  There is an easier route for radon to enter into a basement in a home with footing tiles and an open sump crock.  But, any negative pressure inside of a slab home or a basement without footing tiles and a sump crock can draw radon up into the home through cracks in the slab floor. This negative pressure is created by items such as furnace and water heater exhausts, running a dryer or just general stack/chimney effect.  So, I have had high readings in homes on a slab, but you are correct in that it is much less frequently than a home with a basement.

So, do you want to bother with a radon inspection if buying a home on a slab? I’ll leave that decision to you 😉

The humming garbage disposal

Ever flip the switch to your garbage disposal and just have it hum at you? Fortunately there’s a relatively easy fix… just insert a hex wrench (often one will even be taped to the disposal – or see example image) into the hole on the bottom of the disposal (see picture). Turn the wrench a few times to free up the blades and you should be back in business!

Example hex wrench set…
