Local housing

Homes in North Saint Paul.

North Saint Paul housing runs to pre-war and early postwar homes on a tight grid, across the compact older neighborhoods around the historic core, on flat to gently rolling till — and that mix shapes what a radon testing here needs to find.

Local conditions in North Saint Paul

North Saint Paul is an older city, with many older structures rather than new developments, and its roughly 5,000 housing units include plenty of homes with basements. Ramsey County is in EPA Radon Zone 1, but the Minnesota Department of Health says more than two in five Minnesota homes have radon at or above the action level, and the only way to know is to test. We place a monitor in the lowest lived-in level under closed-house conditions, then explain the result and when 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.

What are the most common defects in pre-war North Saint Paul houses?

Wiring, foundations and heating usually lead the list. Old cloth-insulated wiring, ungrounded outlets, undersized panels, cracked or damp foundation walls, and aging boilers or furnaces show up often. Roofs and chimneys also need a close look since many were repaired in pieces. It helps to know what is original and what has been updated, so repairs can be planned by priority.

Should I scope the sewer on a North Saint Paul home?

Usually worth it. The older grid means clay laterals of a vintage that cracks and separates, and the mature boulevard trees along these streets are exactly what finds those joints. The scope costs far less than the dig.
