Well, in the process of finishing the basement for the kids.
We did a radon test back in 2008 for the basement, and the levels were 1.6 and 1.8 pcl...not too bad. (Took them in mid jan 2008)
So, this year we did another test, and the results came back at 15.3 and 15.8 pcl.....ouch....same test company.
I can't for the life of me figure out how the results went up almost 10 fold with no real changes in the basement. I used drylok on the walls as a sealant, then used rigid r 5 insulation....a 1" airplace, then framed 2 X 4 walls with R 13 batts in between. Rest of the basement is unfinished as it was back in 2008. Think I should have another test done...perhaps by another company?
