Radon Testing in Minneapolis

Radon Testing in Minneapolis, Hennepin County, by Closer Look Inspectors. Minneapolis is a lake-and-river city of bungalows, four-squares and dense newer infill across its many neighborhoods.

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.

Modern white farmhouse-style home with black windows and dark garage doors — Radon Testing in Minneapolis, MNMinneapolis
Local housing

Homes in Minneapolis.

Minneapolis housing runs to bungalows, four-squares and dense newer infill, across the chain-of-lakes neighborhoods, the river corridor, and the redeveloping commercial edges, on lake-adjacent and urban clay sites — and that mix shapes what a radon testing here needs to find.

Local conditions in Minneapolis

Radon is a soil gas, and the Minnesota Department of Health recommends that every Minnesota home be tested, including those in Minneapolis. Hennepin County is listed in EPA Radon Zone 1, the highest zone. Our testing in a Minneapolis house focuses on the lowest level that is lived in or could be, since old block and rubble foundations, floor drains and sump pits can all give soil gas a way in. We set up the monitor under closed-house conditions and explain what the result means and what the next step is.

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.
Are houses near the Minneapolis lakes and Minnehaha Creek more likely to have basement moisture?
Not automatically, but lake and creek areas deserve a careful look at grading, gutter discharge, window wells and the sump pump, because water has to go somewhere. Cracks, stains and efflorescence on the foundation are signs of past water worth noting. We cannot predict future water levels, so a clean day-of-inspection result is not a guarantee. If a house is in a mapped flood zone, ask the city and your insurer about it separately.
Do you cover Minneapolis?
Yes — across the city, from century-old bungalows to new infill construction.
