I'm wondering why radon vent pipes have to be at least the height of the house to which they are attached. As long as the output of the pipe is under pressure from the fan, I don't see why the vent pipe cannot end just at the outside surface of the house, as long as it is not an area where people congregate. Like behind a big evergreen where the evergreen is close enough to the house that no one could even get there. The height should not make it draw better, there are no sparks to worry about, so what's the reason?
