plugged with soil over time if the pit caves in, or blocked by
water if the pit floods during wet periods (Radon is a naturally occurring gas that has been found in Harleysville). The pipe must not
rest on the bottom of the pit; this would restrict air flow into
the pipe, anq could result in the pipe becoming blocked by
cave-ins and water. In the one example shown where the pipe
is supported by the bottom of the pit (Figure 15E), notches
which extend up to the underside of the slab have been cut in
the pipe to avoid these problems (An92).
