Re: Stone Countertops & Radon
I can only add this: On the houses I've inspected with large areas of stone countertops, the areas of stone floor make the areas of the stone countertops negligible, percentage wise.

With 10,000 sf ++ of stone flooring, what effect is even 300 sf of stone countertop going to contribute? >1/3 of 1%? As I said ... negligible.

Take a more moderate house, say 6,000 sf of stone flooring, and a relative reduction in countertops, say to 100 sf, that's 1/6 of 1% ... negligible.

Take an even more modest house, say 3,000 sf of stone flooring, and a relative reduction in countertops, say to 75 sf, that 1/4 of 1% ... negligible.
