Radon Testing in Blaine

Radon Testing in Blaine, Anoka County, by Closer Look Inspectors. Blaine is a northern suburb of newer subdivision homes spreading across former farmland.

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.

Local housing

Homes in Blaine.

Blaine housing runs to newer subdivision homes on former farmland, across the spreading developments north of the metro, on level, sandy-loam sites — and that mix shapes what a radon testing here needs to find.

Local conditions in Blaine

Blaine does not run a point-of-sale housing ordinance, which makes an independent inspection the only thorough, buyer-side read on the home. Blaine sits in Anoka County, in EPA Radon Zone 2 — a moderate county rating, but MDH reports more than two in five Minnesota homes have radon levels that pose a significant health risk, and a county zone never predicts one house. 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 that Blaine-area homes face.

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.
Which parts of Blaine have the oldest houses?
The city's history says postwar starter-home developments began in the southern and eastern parts of town, so the oldest housing clusters there. Blaine had 1,694 residents in 1950 and 20,573 by 1970, which means a lot of homes date to the 1950s and 1960s. Most of the city's growth since then is newer, so a Blaine buyer might be looking at anything from those early houses to recent construction.
Do you cover Blaine?
Yes — its fast newer growth makes new-construction and warranty inspections common here.
