WHEN THOSE GAMELAN
BELLS START RINGING
Without proper placement they're just
noise - then they sent the Radon guy
to my house. Boy, that scam came and
went. I can remember, in the late 80's,
every other fool coming in for printing
was some getting-started schmuck with
a Radon Company Inspection scheme.
They wanted like a hundred and seventy
bucks, for starters, to 'inspect' your
basement for 'dangerous, illicit, radon
seepage.' I said to the guy, 'Well, what
is it you're selling?' He said 'nothing,
really. We scan and read the basement
air. Kind'a trying to end up scaring
people. So then they pay us to seal
the walls. The real thing is, it's only
now, as they've started building
people's houses on old garbage dumps
and places like that, that it happens.
90% of old houses, already in place,
have nothing to worry about. They
were built on clean soils. But we
don't make mention of that.
