Radon Testing in Biscay

Radon Testing in Biscay, McLeod County, by Closer Look Inspectors. Biscay is a McLeod County village that is the smallest Minnesota city by land area, and we calibrate every visit to that.

Radon testing places an EPA-protocol continuous monitor on a home's lowest livable level to measure radon gas — and it matters across Minnesota, where more than two in five homes test above the action level.

Calibrated

Tuned to Biscay.

Biscay housing runs to small older houses on compact lots in a very small village, with some newer homes, across the entire 0.075-square-mile village along Highway 22, with the South Fork Crow River just to the east, on rolling till plain of McLeod County, drained by the South Fork of the Crow River — and that mix shapes what a radon testing here needs to find. Instrument-grade tools, a local eye, every visit.

Local conditions in Biscay

Biscay does not run a point-of-sale housing ordinance, which makes an independent inspection the only thorough, buyer-side read on the home. Biscay sits in McLeod County, in EPA Radon Zone 1, and MDH reports more than two in five Minnesota homes have radon levels that pose a significant health risk. Finished basements concentrate radon, and only a 48-hour test tells you the number. Footings here must reach the 3-1/2-foot depth Minnesota Rules 1303.1600 set for the southern frost zone, and that annual freeze-thaw cycle is what drives the settlement cracks, frost heave and ice-dam wear we calibrate every Biscay visit to find.

Questions

Common questions.

Is radon really a concern in Minnesota?
Yes. The Minnesota Department of Health reports that more than two in five Minnesota homes have radon levels that pose a significant health risk, and finished basements are where it concentrates.
How long does the test run?
A 48-hour minimum under closed-house conditions; the result is delivered with your inspection report.
What should I know about a house in Biscay, the smallest Minnesota city by land area?
Biscay was incorporated in 1949 and covers just 0.075 square miles, so every lot is close to its neighbor and to the highway. Homes here sit on small lots and are mostly modest in size. We check grading and roof drainage on tight lots, the age of the furnace and water heater, the panel and branch wiring, and the roof. The South Fork Crow River flows east of the village, so we also look at basement moisture and sump performance after wet seasons.
