Communication Testing & Design

Communication (Conncetivity) - Pressure Field Testing
and Mitigation System DESIGN


A 1-inch diameter suction hole is drilled through the basement slab (typically in the furnace room).
In opposite corners of the basement, small ¼-inch test holes are drilled.

A vacuum is then connected to the suction hole - this serves as the main extraction point.
The pressure difference between the extraction point and the small test holes is measured to determine how well air can move beneath the slab - this is referred to as connectivity.
