Can a passive system handle a pipe that disappears into the attic in a walkout basement home during winter?

Accepted Answer

A passive radon setup in a walkout basement home during winter is usually a rough-in or pipe path without an active fan pulling soil gas from under the home. In a pipe that disappears into the attic situation, the question is whether the system is actually lowering the average radon level. Passive systems can help, but testing tells you whether the home needs an active fan or a different mitigation plan. If you want help sorting it out, call or text Bill, or send your address and contact info, and he can stop out and take a look. If you already have a test result, feel free to share it, but you do not need it before reaching out.
