Finally got the sump pump installed. Hardest part was digging the hole which was 22" of mostly rock with a little clay mixed in. No more leaky basement!

While thats true, a digital meter is at about 5x the cost of a one-time disposable test. I didn't want to scare him off (or delay the test) because of cost. If the disposable test shows a positive reading for radon, I'd recommend skipping the digital meter anyway and hiring a company that does professional readings as well as installation of mitigation systems.
