This course will also prepare you to sit for national (either NRPP or NRSB) or NJ state radon mitigation certification exams. Instructor Bill Brodhead will teach the latest NRPP standards as well as the NJ standards.

  • How Air Pressure Affects Ventilation
  • Radon Fan Sizes and the Impact on Both Air Flow and Operating Costs
  • How Radon Moves Through Water
  • The Importance of Safety Precautions for Radon Mitigation Work
  • Radon Mitigation Techniques for New Construction

Benefits of Studying Radon Mitigation at our Radon Training Slab

Our radon mitigation training slab is an incredible teaching tool for the students who attend this course. In real time, radon mitigation students will have a chance to see how different radon fans perform and observe how closely the diagnostic testing was able to predict the final results! Students will have the opportunity to observe and participate in live demonstrations that will reinforce their understanding of the following important radon mitigation concepts.

  • How a Radon Mitigation System Influences the Pressure Under the Slab
  • How Diagnostic Sub-slab Pressure Field Extension Tests are Performed
  • How Different Radon Fan Models Perform in Comparison to the Diagnostic Testing that was Done
  • How Much Wattage Each Radon Fan Uses
