Airborne Radon Guarantee – Active Soil Depressurization System
The Company performs work for the purpose of reducing radon in both air and water. The US EPA and some State Health Departments set guideline levels of acceptable radon concentrations. The Company does not endorse these levels as safe or without risk. In fact, the US EPA suggests that there is a risk involved from long-term exposure to radon at any level. The Company will install an Active Soil Depressurization System (ASD) to reduce the annual average airborne radon concentrations. The Company guarantees that the ASD is constructed in conformity with all applicable current EPA, American Association of Radon Scientist and Technologist (AARST), and State radon reduction standards and is free from mechanical defects caused by faulty materials or workmanship. The Company agrees, at its sole cost and expense, to correct or replace during the one-year period immediately following the date of installation, any part of the ASD which, due to faulty materials or workmanship, is found mechanically defective under normal use. This Guarantee will not apply if any damage to the ASD components or its performance is due to occupant negligence or servicing by any occupant, installer or technician other than an authorized representative of the Company. Replacement of guaranteed part 12 months after installation date is subject to a labor charge and the Company’s liability shall be limited to repair or replacement of those mechanically defective products or materials; provided, however that this Guarantee shall apply only if the Company receives written notice from the Customer of each particular defect within one year after the date of installation. The Company reserves the right to inspect prior to performing any work pursuant to this Guarantee.
The Company further guarantees that the average annual radon concentrations in the Property will remain below the agreed upon level for radon for the period agreed to from the date of installation. Future testing is the responsibility of the owner. The EPA and the Company recommend periodic testing to ensure that low radon levels are being achieved. Testing must be conducted by, or analyzed by, a certified radon testing company or individual adhering to current EPA, AARST, and State standards for testing to qualify under this Guarantee. The Company’s liability shall be limited to making necessary modifications to the ASD to achieve the desired level of radon concentrations. This Guarantee will not apply if the ASD fails to achieve the desired level of radon concentrations due to well water contamination, building material contamination, a high water table, groundwater presence underneath or surrounding the work area that prevents adequate sub-slab or sub-membrane airflow.
