3 1. Overview of Process 1.1 Purpose The purpose of this portion of your course is to provide you with an opportunity to get some real life experience in the art of radon mitigation. It will also give you an opportunity to observe different radon mitigation systems as well as factors that affect radon entry and how these may affect your mitigation systems. In addition to this, you will have an opportunity to get some insight into the business aspects of radon mitigation by working with a Mentor who has experience in this field. This portion of the course is a requirement for course passage. It consists of 16-hours of practical experience with a mentor. This hands-on requirement has been a core requirement for entry level mitigation contractors since 1989 when the EPA initiated its radon proficiency program and has continued to be a requirement of both national certification programs as well as those states that administer their own certification programs. 1.2 Finding a Mentor There are a number of individuals who have expressed a willingness to assist with training new people entering the radon mitigation field. These are individuals who are committed to a professional radon mitigation industry. You may know someone already who would be willing to function as your mentor. The following is the criteria for mentors: Be willing to spend at least 16 hours with you, either individually or as part of a larger group. Note: the 16-hours can be either all at once or over an extended period of time, as long as all of the lessons have been completed. Have at least 12-months experience in the field of radon mitigation and has completed at least 50 residential mitigations. Be currently certified by either the National Environmental Health Association s National Radon Proficiency Program or the National Radon Safety Board and if this is done within a state that has a certification program, they must also be certified by that State for radon mitigation. Furthermore, they must be in good standing with those certification bodies. The person can be a relative, employer or employee; provided they meet the criteria listed above and are approved by CERTI prior to beginning the mentoring session. For the state of Iowa, the mentor must also be approved by the Iowa Radon Program Coordinator / Project Director. Before spending time with your mentor, you must complete the technical portion (audio CDs and finish online quizzes) as evidenced by presenting the Quiz passage certificate to your mentor, prior to beginning this field phase of the course. Note, you will have a much better learning experience with your mentor if you complete the technical portion first. After all, it is about learning rather than getting a piece of paper. To coordinate the selection of your mentor, please contact our office ( ) two weeks before your mentoring session. 2
4 1.3 Completing the Field Exercises and Receiving a Course Certificate The following sections describe field activities that will help you better understand the dynamics of radon entry and how to design/install radon mitigation systems. The sections are listed in a suggested order, but it is not imperative that they be conducted in sequence. At the end of this document is a single page form that will need to be completed by both you and your mentor. You will also find a Course Evaluation Form. Both forms need to be completed and faxed into our offices as verification of completion of this required portion of your education. For the state of Iowa, these completed forms will also need to be included with your application to the Iowa Radon Program for review in the licensing procedure. Upon receipt of this form and verification of your having completed the online technical quizzes a course certificate will be sent to you. Note: this course certificate will be needed prior to your sitting for a certification exam as well needed as part of the prerequisite for becoming certified with either of the national certification programs. 1.4 Student and Mentor Release Prior to conducting the Field Exercises, review the release form on the following page. This is to be done in conjunction with the mentor. Both the student and the mentor must sign and fax a copy to CERTI before proceeding with the Field Exercises. For the state of Iowa, you will also need to complete and send in the Student Acknowledgment Form as indicated. Learn as much as you can from the Field Exercises but please be careful! Fax the completed Release Form found on the following page to

Time Frame: 1 hour Equipment needed: Smoke bottle Flashlight Micromanometer with small tube connected to the negative side of the micromanometer Putty to seal around micromanometer Procedure: Locate an entry point in a slab of a home. This could be a floor to wall joint or a 3/8 inch hole drilled through the slab Use your smoke bottle and lightly puff smoke near the opening to determine which way the smoke is moving. Turn different appliances on and off to see the effect Write your findings below with the following convention: Arrow Meaning Smoke is rising into building from subgrade. Radon can enter Smoke is going down into hole. Radon is not entering Repeat the same measurements using the micromanometer to be able to quantify the effect of the different appliances. With the negative side of your manometer connected to the opening, use the following convention. Sign Meaning + Sub-grade is at positive pressure relative to the interior of the building. It can also mean that building is under negative pressure relative to subgrade. Radon can enter - Sub-grade is at negative pressure with respect to interior of building. It could also be the building is positive in pressure relative to the sub-grade. Radon is not entering from soil 9

What are the effects on current and suction if suction is completely blocked? 11
13 2.4 Sub-Slab Diagnostics Objectives: Learn how to simulate a sub-slab depressurization system using a vacuum cleaner Time Frame: 2 hours Equipment needed: A slab-on grade or basement slab home that is going to be mitigated with a sub-slab depressurization system Shop vacuum 5 horsepower. Hose for inlet and enough for outlet to exhaust soil gases outdoors. Air flow measurement device Micromanometer and pitot tube (see appendix for charts), or Hot wire anemometer Plumbers putty Hammer-drill and bits Rubber mallet Stinger This is a three inch pipe to which you attach a cone shaped shop vac wand to one end and the other end is attached to your vacuum cleaner hose. This allows you to measure air flows much more accurately. This is a handy device that can be broken down and taken to job sites. See diagram to right. Drill hole to allow insertion of pitot tube Procedure: Do this in a home you and your mentor are going to mitigate Review Pressure Field Extension procedure in the Appendix of the course manual. Make a diagram of your slab and note test hole locations. Select a preferred suction point location. Measure sub slab vacuums at least three test holes on the slab with the vacuum cleaner both on and off Measure air flow of vacuum cleaner while in hole as well as in free air. Record measurements on diagram. Identify any obstructions like grade beams using a rubber mallet. If necessary drill another vacuum test hole if full communication is not obtained with initial hole Discuss findings and make design recommendations as far as suction point location as well as system layout. Save these measurements to allow you to compare these to measurements you will make at the same locations after the system is installed. 2 feet Vacuum cleaner wand Reducers appropriate to fit your hose. Duct tape can be used to seal Hi 3 inch PVC Low Reducers appropriate to fit your wand. Duct tape can be used to seal To suction side of shop vac End to be inserted into vacuum hole 12
14 2.5 Installation of a Sub-Slab Depressurization System Objectives: Gain experience in installing a sub-slab depressurization system Compare diagnostic measurements to measurements with system on See the effect of caulking and sealing slab openings has on sub-slab vacuums and system air flow Gain experience in estimating system installation costs. Time Frame: 6 hours Procedure: Install system under the guidance of your Mentor Follow all safety practices As you proceed discuss different tools being used with your mentor After installation but before caulking and sealing slab openings, measure sub-slab vacuums at same test holes you did your diagnostics on in the previous exercise. Also measure air flow of system. Caulk and seal slab openings As you caulk and seal watch changes in performance indicator. After caulking and sealing slab, re-measure sub-slab vacuums and system air flow. Did it change? Compare post-mitigation vacuum measurements and system air flows to your diagnostic measurements. Evening assignment: Estimate cost of job you just installed. Consider the following issues: Will you guarantee results less than 4 pci/l? How much will it cost and have you covered overhead costs, like insurance etc. How long will you warrant the system for? How will it be retested and by whom? How are you going to handle long-term testing? Will warranty be transferable to new homeowners? Was there another approach that could have been used? If so, what and how much? What would your next approach be if the system you installed did not work? Discuss bid and guarantee with your Mentor on the next day. Make arrangements with your Mentor for him/her to tell you what the post-mitigation measurements for this installation were after it is tested. 13
15 2.6 Installation of Second System or Inspection of Other Systems Objectives: Gain experience with different systems This can be either a sump or drain tile depressurization system or a sub-membrane system in a crawl space. The choice of system is up to the Mentor as to what can be arranged and is common in the area. In lieu of an actual installation, it could also be a visual inspection of previously installed systems (minimum 3) where you can discuss installation details and perform postmitigation diagnostics. Time Frame: 6 hours Option 1: Installation of a Drain tile or Sump depressurization System Procedure: Install system under the guidance of your Mentor Follow all safety practices As you proceed discuss approaches with your Mentor Look for daylight ends of drains (soakaways) Measure sub-slab vacuums and system air flows at conclusion of job.
