Default Radion now 4 pCi/L

I'm pretty sure they didn't spend much (if any) money on a gravel bed for this slab.
I've cut 3 bucket sized holes and hit dirt (& large stones) right under the removed concrete.

Anyways, I've had my Radon eruption(P2) capped with a Coroplas cover, sealed with tape, and the reading is way down. Almost in the safe range.
It's been sitting at 4 pCi/L since reset over 60 hours ago..

The detector is hanging 14" above the Coroplas cover.

It's been raining this week (1.70"), so today I want to move the
detector over to the west side sump(P3), which has about 6" of standing water, for the last 2 days.
This is an indicator on the ground water level on the west side of the house.
Not high enough to turn on the pump, but maybe it's pushing out some Radon!
I'll move the detector over there today and use the new unit (ETA next week)
on the old east side sump(P1).
