Radon Testing in Hopkins

Radon Testing in Hopkins, Hennepin County, by Closer Look Inspectors. Hopkins is a compact inner-ring suburb of bungalows, postwar homes and walkable older blocks.

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 conditions in Hopkins

Hennepin County is in EPA Radon Zone 1, but Minnesota Department of Health guidance is still to test, and more than two in five Minnesota homes exceed the EPA action level. A Hopkins home with a basement, especially an older one with a sump pit or floor cracks, gives soil gas a path in. We place the monitor in the lowest lived-in level under closed-house conditions and walk you through the result, including when follow-up or mitigation is worth discussing.

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 Hopkins require a city inspection before a home is sold?
No. Hopkins repealed its Truth-in-Housing evaluation requirement, effective January 14, 2021, so sellers there no longer need one to sell. Whether or not a city process applies, a buyer's inspection is independent and looks at roof, structure, electrical, plumbing, heating and cooling, and moisture. Contact the city for its current requirements, and use our report to plan repairs and negotiate with what you actually find.
Do you cover Hopkins?
Yes — its bungalows and postwar homes get a thorough read of their era-specific systems.
