Radon Testing in Foley

Radon Testing in Foley, Benton County, by Closer Look Inspectors. Foley is a Benton County seat of older and postwar homes on granite-country ground east of St. Cloud.

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 Foley.

Foley housing runs to older and postwar homes in granite country, across the county-seat core and the rural edges, on shallow soils over granite east of St. Cloud — and that mix shapes what a radon testing here needs to find.

Local conditions in Foley

Out in Foley, many properties sit beyond city sewer and water on private septic systems and wells, so we flag those for the specialized testing they deserve. Foley sits in Benton 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 Foley-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.
Does granite country change a Foley inspection?
It shapes it — shallow soils over bedrock affect drainage and basement construction, and Benton County is EPA Radon Zone 2, but a county zone never predicts one house, so testing is still worth doing regardless of the home's age.
