Current through Register Vol. 47, No. 52, December 29, 2023
e) General Practices. The following general
practices are required for all contacts between Radon Mitigation licensees and
clients.
1) In the initial contact with a
client, the licensee shall review any available results from previous radon
measurements to assist in developing an appropriate mitigation strategy. If the
radon measurement was not performed in accordance with this Part, the client
shall be advised that a retest is recommended.
2) The licensee shall inform the client of or
provide to the client, Illinois specific documents, approved by the Agency,
that discuss interpretation of indoor radon test results and the health risk
associated with the radon level found in the building. These documents are
available from the Agency and are on the Agency web site.
3) The licensee shall inform the client in
writing, at the time a proposal for the installation of a radon reduction
system is offered, of any sealants, caulks, or bonding chemicals containing
volatile solvents and of the need to ventilate work areas during and after the
use of such materials. The licensee shall provide ventilation as recommended by
the manufacturer of the material used if existing ventilation does not meet the
recommendations of the manufacturer of the material used.
f) Building Investigation
1) The licensee shall conduct a thorough
visual inspection of the building prior to initiating any radon mitigation
work. The results of the inspection shall be recorded in detail on a drawing of
the floor plan. The licensee shall identify and describe any specific building
characteristics and configurations, such as large cracks in slabs, exposed
earth in crawlspaces, open stairways to basements, or air ducts under the slab
of any foundation, and operational conditions, such as continuously running
HVAC systems, or operability of windows that may affect the design,
installation, and effectiveness of radon mitigation systems.
A) As part of this inspection, the licensee
shall request from the client any available information on the building, such
as construction specifications, pictures, drawings, etc., that might be
valuable in determining the radon mitigation strategy.
B) A floor-plan drawing shall be finalized
from preliminary inspection sketches and shall include illustration of the
building foundation, the location of all walls, drain fixtures, HVAC systems
and radon entry points, results of any diagnostic testing, the layout of any
radon mitigation system piping, and the location of any vent fan and system
warning devices.
C) The finalized
drawing shall be an auditable part of the mitigation file and shall be
available to the occupant, the owner of the building, his/her representatives
or the client, upon request.
2) The licensee shall conduct diagnostic
tests to assist in identifying and verifying radon entry points and shall
document the results of these tests in writing. Such tests may include radon
grab sampling, continuous radon monitoring, and the use of smoke
sticks.
3) If a contractor has
concerns about backdrafting potential at a particular site, the contractor
shall recommend that a qualified person inspect the natural draft combustion
appliances and venting systems for compliance with local codes and regulations.
The contractor shall recommend that the building owner bring into compliance
any combustion appliance or venting system found to be non-complying.
4) Licensees shall not install a fan-powered
radon reduction system in any building wherein confirmed spillage from any
natural combustion appliance occurs, until the licensee has confirmed that the
problem has been corrected by the client.
5) Licensees shall conduct a communication
test prior to completing a proposal for the installation of a radon reduction
system in any building where the characteristics of the sub-slab material are
unknown to the licensee. The results of the communication test shall be
documented in writing or on a drawing of the building floor plan.
g) Systems Design
1) All radon mitigation systems shall be
designed and installed as permanent, integral additions to a building, except
in accordance with subsection (e)(3).
2) All radon mitigation systems shall be
designed to avoid the creation of other health, safety, or environmental
hazards to building occupants, such as backdrafting of natural draft combustion
appliances.
3) The main run of vent
pipe, from primary suction point to exhaust, shall be a minimum 3 inches in
diameter to avoid excessive flow noise inside the pipe and noise when the
exhaust jet is released.
4) All
radon mitigation systems and their components shall be designed to comply with
the laws, ordinances, codes, and regulations of relevant jurisdictional
authorities, including applicable mechanical, electrical, building, plumbing,
energy and fire prevention codes.
5) All radon mitigation systems shall be
designed to reduce a radon concentration in each area within the footprint of
the building as low as reasonably achievable (ALARA).
6) As installed, the mitigation system shall
operate at a reasonable noise level.
h) Systems Installation
1) General Requirements
A) All components of radon mitigation systems
shall also be in compliance with the applicable mechanical, electrical,
building, plumbing, energy and fire prevention codes, standards, and

material must be removed to accommodate radon vent pipes, material removed
shall be no greater than that permitted for plumbing installations by
applicable building or plumbing codes.
C) Where radon mitigation system installation
requires pipes or ducts to penetrate a firewall or other fire resistance rated
wall, floor or ceiling penetrations shall be protected in accordance with
applicable building, mechanical, fire and electrical codes.
AGENCY NOTE: An example of a protected penetration would be the
installation of a fire collar on a vent pipe penetrating a ceiling.
D) Sump pits shall not be used as
the primary suction point for mitigation systems, unless in accordance with
subsection (h)(7).
2)
Radon resistant construction is required of new one- and two-family building
