Radon Testing in Bloomington

Radon Testing in Bloomington, Hennepin County, by Closer Look Inspectors. Bloomington is a large first-ring suburb of postwar ramblers with newer redevelopment near the river valley.

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 Bloomington.

Bloomington housing runs to postwar ramblers with newer river-valley redevelopment, across the established neighborhoods and the redeveloping river edge, on level and river-terrace sites — and that mix shapes what a radon testing here needs to find.

Local conditions in Bloomington

Bloomington is one of the metro cities that requires a city Time-of-Sale evaluation before a home is sold. That municipal report is a limited disclosure ordered by the seller — it is not your own inspection, does not test radon or scope the sewer, and never works for the buyer. Bloomington sits in Hennepin 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 that Bloomington-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.
How old is the typical Bloomington rambler, and what does that mean for a buyer?
Most were built between the 1950s and early 1960s, during the years the city grew fastest. That means original or partly updated wiring, panels and plumbing, clay or cast-iron sewer lines, and roofs, furnaces and water heaters that have been replaced, or need to be. Many have been remodeled, so the quality of that work deserves as much attention as the original construction.
Do you inspect Bloomington homes?
Yes — its deep postwar stock and the newer redevelopment both get a close, system-by-system read.
