Re: Matt Sterling conversation
I spoke with Matt Sterling this moming concerning the radon mitigation system
in his home at 509 N Bell Street.
He indicated that it appears as if the system was not installed when his home
was built, but that a pipe was made to look like a Radon Vent.
I advised him to contact an attorney, Spokane County, and to test for the
presence of gas.
He indicated that he had already tested and that abnormal levels of Radon
were present in his home.
I advised him to seek the input from a licensed contractor, secure a permit and
install an appropriate radon evacuation system to take care of the problem.
Later on I phoned Matt again and informed him that WA LW may have a path of
financial recovery for him i.e... against the bond of the person that built the
dwelling.
