in radon system performance (House 1 in Re91a).
In addition to gun-grade polyurethane caulk and expanding
foam, cement or quiCk-setting mortar have also sometimes

Br092). One mitigator reports that termites and ants have
sometimes been observed to chew through expanding foam in
some regions, so that cement might be preferred at least for
the outer seal for this below-grade application in such regions
(Br092).

a horizontal pipe is being inserted for some distance beneath
