Hey Y’all

Bought a new home in New England with a stone basement or a rubble basement, whatever you want to call it. The floor is concrete. The home is on a hill, and well above the water table, but it’s got a stump pump because stone basements can still weep if it’s wet enough, I believe. I know I’ll need to throw a dehumidifier in there and aim for 40%.

The home inspection didn’t turn up asbestos or anything like that, but I want to know if there are health hazards I should consider. Thinking about doing a radon test, are there any other tests I should do? Or items I should consider?

    I was honestly planning on getting a test until I learned about the monitors. Might just do both

      Check out wave things. They make all in one CO2, radon, humidity, temp monitors. Good for long term monitoring of radon and other undesirable things.
