Work was done promptly and the crew was friendly and thorough. They installed a cap over the floor drain that prevents air from infiltrating from the foundation drainage system while still allowing any water from the basement to escape should the washer overflow or a pipe break, etc. As a result (and side benefit) my basement is less humid and no longer has that occasional musty smell.

Six months later and everything is working fine. A retest for Radon showed virtually no presence whereas, before, tests showed a rather high concentration.
