Why this comes up in East Amwell Township
East Amwell sits largely outside public supply. A well here draws from the Sourland diabase or the sediments running off it — the same fractured rock the soil gas travels through. That is part of the context any crew working in East Amwell Township has to design around.
East Amwell Township — the state's own numbers
43% of the 1,314 test results NJDEP holds for East Amwell Township were at or above the 4.0 pCi/L action level — 567 of them. That puts it in Tier 1 — high potential.
East Amwell Township is a rural township running from the Flemington side south across the Sourland Mountain ridge, and that shapes what a system here has to be designed around.

Generous rural lots, though wooded and boulder-strewn ground on the mountain can complicate equipment access.

What the work involves
Hollow block walls are a network of interconnected voids running from the footing to the top course, and soil gas uses them as a chimney. Treating them means sealing the top course and drawing suction from inside the cavity, usually alongside a sub-slab system rather than instead of one.

Certification, checked before referral
Installing radon mitigation for a fee in New Jersey requires NJDEP certification as a radon mitigation business, affiliated with a certified radon mitigation specialist (N.J.A.C. 7:28-27). We confirm that on the NJDEP register and record the date we checked. That is a check, not an endorsement — satisfy yourself before you hire.
