Live testing of a kitchen for Radon before Granite is install

[GYANNI]

Great news.
We already knew that we support terrorism. How about being like drug dealers?

"I call granite the crack cocaine of the countertop industry. Cheap material, high selling cost, thus huge markups, no warranty, no training neccasary, no one keeping track of unhappy customers. Like a drug, granite can debase those who touch it if they aren’t careful. From working with materials that have long warranites and strict standards, they learn that with granite anything goes cause there is no one to say otherwise. Like a drug, it can trash a shop’s reputation for quality work, and lead to a lot of unhappy customer."

I don't have to mention who wrote the above statement, right? We know who he is.

OH my, so what does that make us?
He needs to stop. He runs around with these statements unchallenged, but when he comes to a forum like this one- he runs. This is the only stone forum that has not banned him. Yet he runs. I for one, would like to know why.

I think this quote might have a little insight into the reasons for Mr. Gerharts's issues...

He must have been a hack fabricator and lost his shirt in the biz. Now it is nothing but evil to him.

Ok, the first stage of testing is over. Now here comes the fun part, well the fun part for me. regardless how low the levels are, we will have a few people who will want themas low as possible. We will start the testing on Friday to see if a sealer can lower the levels even more. In the mean time, here is vidio summary of all that we have done so far.

The NSRA Podcast

	sealer Impregnation: This is commonly known as sealers. This is the first stage in preserving and maintaining your investment. This stage should occur ever six to eight months. There are three types of impregnation (solvent, water, silicone based), regardless to brand. This will stop most water base stains from occurring. It also will stop the stone from been damage beyond repair.

Is there nothing new? People are asking on the thread you created at GardenWeb.

[Huligar]

still testing, making sure we have no holes what so ever.
But it is coming soon.

Just in case you all felt that we forgot about radon in granite, we were just waiting to get our long term testing done so no one can ask us why the test was so short.
I think one year is a lot of time for my home to be fill with all the radon that it can handle. what do you all think?

[Steve Patrick]

Lol. Here's a hint of what we found.
There were four continuous radon monitors running during this period and the average never went over one (1) pCi/l during any of the testing and one continuous monitor running. (Thats about 11 months so far.)
