Radon Testing in Mahtomedi

Radon Testing in Mahtomedi, Washington County, by Closer Look Inspectors. Mahtomedi is a White Bear Lake suburb platted in 1883, with its own school district and lakeshore and hillside homes, and we calibrate every visit to that.

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.

Tuned to Mahtomedi.

Mahtomedi housing runs to older lakeshore houses from the years after the 1883 platting, mid-century homes and larger newer homes, in a city of 8,138, across the White Bear Lake shoreline, the older platted blocks near downtown and the hillside neighborhoods, on glacial upland and sandy shoreline on the south and east side of White Bear Lake — and that mix shapes what a radon testing here needs to find. Instrument-grade tools, a local eye, every visit.

Local conditions in Mahtomedi

Mahtomedi does not run a point-of-sale housing ordinance, which makes an independent inspection the only thorough, buyer-side read on the home. Mahtomedi sits in Washington 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 we calibrate every Mahtomedi visit to find.

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 does the lakeshore affect an older house in Mahtomedi?
Mahtomedi was platted in 1883, and its name combines the Dakota words for bear and lake, referring to White Bear Lake. The city has 3.47 sq. mi. of land and 2.24 of water, so a large share of homes sit near lakes and slopes. We check grading and drainage on hillside lots, basement moisture, older foundations, decks and stairs on sloped yards, and the age of roofing and heating systems. Older houses often carry additions from several decades. Washington County is EPA Radon Zone 1.
