Radon detail in renovation?

jakko86

Hi guys just wondering how is the radon barrier laid in an old building?Im looking to take up the floor of an old farmhouse and put in a new floor with insulation and a radon barrier, my question is the radon can not go out through the stone wall so just has to lap up at the edges of the walls but what then? obviously any radon can seep up at the edges by the walls so do i have to continue up the walls with more radon barrier until it meets the roof (does this prevent wall breathing) or what is best way to do this? house is to be completely drylined also?

looks like just lay the barrier down and have sufficient pumps installed.

Have to do a similar job. What did you decide to use?

The Homebond manual is a good source for building info. In regards to radon they just use info from other bodies such as RPII.

I hav found the rpii generally refer you to local building control
