Rain Caps on Radon Systems? Why We Don’t Use Them

We get a lot of comments asking, “Why don’t you put rain caps on your radon exhaust pipes?” While it may seem strange to leave the pipe open to rain or snow, radon mitigation systems are actually designed to handle the small amount of moisture they may take in. In this video, we explain why rain caps aren’t necessary, how fittings affect airflow and exhaust direction, and what the ANSI/AARST standards say about proper discharge practices. We recommend consulting the ANSI/AARST standards for the most up-to-date information. https://standards.aarst.org/ Standards for exhaust discharge as of 2023: https://standards.aarst.org/SGM-SF-20... 📍 Service Area Serving Colorado’s Front Range and Mountain Communities: Golden, Boulder, Denver, Cherry Hills Village, Evergreen, Breckenridge, Vail, Aspen, and nearby areas. 🗓️ Schedule an Estimate Live in Colorado?
