Key Benefits of Moisture Control
- Gradual deterioration of building may be reversed, eliminating its need
for expensive remediation
- Good health of building occupants may be restored
- A stigmatized building may have its economic value fully restored
Capabilities of RadonMan Building Science Skills and Technology
- Investigation and Identification of Causes of Sick Building
Characteristics
- RadonMan has state of the art diagnostic test equipment,
skills and protocols to quickly and correctly identify the true cause of
Building Sickness
- Development of a Plan to Eliminate Building and Operation Defects
- Once the true cause of a building's sickness is
identified, a correct and efficient plan to eliminate the defect leaps to
mind. Time, energy and money are not wasted while experimenting and "seeing
if this might work." A number of very large buildings in the Miami
area were ultimately demolished because of the advanced deterioration that
resulted while the "Experts" tried approach after approach, none of which
corrected the True Cause of the building's sickness
- Installation or Supervision of Plan Implementation
- RadonMan has the resources and the experience to address
and to correct any such building defects, or RadonMan can supervise
implementation of defect correction

Condominium, Naples, Florida
Mold and odor issues resulting from low cost
radon mitigation system installation*
New home had been purchased. Seller had selected and installed a low
cost radon mitigation system. Home developed mold and odor problems
attributed by a mold expert to the radon mnitigation system. Required mold
cleanup and sanitization as well as odor elimination. Radon mitigator had no
professional liability insurance and denied that his installation had
created the mold problem. Total losses to new homeowner, approximately
$50,000.00. Not covered by any insurance.
We were hired to remove and replace the uncontrolled Mechanical Ventilation
System with a SlimLine Ventilation Wizard including automatic humidity
control, HEPA filtration and automatic on/off operation so that the radon
system operates only when occupied.
Home has been sold, and buyer is satisfied. Neither mold nor odor have
returned.

* It is not unusual for some real estate agents and
home inspectors to recommend and for home sellers to select the lowest price
radon mitigation system available. We have been told that it is just a matter of
time before a floodgate opens and litigation starts seeking to hold sellers,
seller agents and home inspectors liable when negligently-designed or installed
radon systems cause mold damage and illness.
