Radon Testing in Jordan

Radon Testing in Jordan, Scott County, by Closer Look Inspectors. Jordan is a river-valley town of historic homes tucked below the bluffs.

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 Jordan.

Jordan housing runs to historic homes below the bluffs, across the valley core, on river-valley bottomland below steep bluffs — and that mix shapes what a radon testing here needs to find.

Local conditions in Jordan

Out in Jordan, many properties sit beyond city sewer and water on private septic systems and wells, so we flag those for the specialized testing they deserve. Jordan sits in Scott 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 Jordan-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.
Is a pre-1900 house in Jordan too old to buy?
Not at all, but the inspection matters. Older brick, stone or block foundations and mortar need a close look, and the wiring, plumbing and heating have usually been updated in stages. Signs of moisture, movement and patchwork repairs are the things to look for. The report lets you plan for the cost of work that old houses tend to need.
Does bluff runoff affect Jordan homes?
It does — water coming off the bluffs concentrates in the valley, so grading, drainage and basement moisture are the items that matter most.
