Finally got the sump pump installed. Hardest part was digging the hole which was 22" of mostly rock with a little clay mixed in. No more leaky basement!

    Even better you can get reliable digital meters now to get real time info, and you can test all the rooms in your house.

      Municipalities by me will loan out radon testers. Obviously varies by location, but worth checking with the town.

      While thats true, a digital meter is at about 5x the cost of a one-time disposable test. I didn’t want to scare him off (or delay the test) because of cost. If the disposable test shows a positive reading for radon, I’d recommend skipping the digital meter anyway and hiring a company that does professional readings as well as installation of mitigation systems.
