19, the hole will have to penetrate concrete perhaps 8 in. thick
or more. If a foundation stem wall is present, and if it were
poured concrete, the lower portion of the hole could be
penetrating a layer of concrete even thicker still.
A rotary hammer drill could be used to prepare this hole, in
the manner described in earlier sections. Or, a coring drill
could be supported at a 45° angle. Since coring drill bits are
often only 6 in. deep, it could be necessary to core the first 6

the remainder of the distance.

Because high levels of radon have been found in every state of the United States, testing for radon and installing radon mitigation systems has become a specialized industry in the last two decades. Many states have implemented programs that affect home buying and awareness in the real estate community, however radon testing and mitigation systems are not generally mandatory unless specified by the local jurisdiction.
