Radon Testing in Oakdale

Radon Testing in Oakdale, Washington County, by Closer Look Inspectors. Oakdale is an east-metro suburb of 1970s-90s subdivisions.

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 Oakdale.

Oakdale housing runs to 1970s-90s subdivisions, across the east-metro subdivisions, on gently rolling till — and that mix shapes what a radon testing here needs to find.

Local conditions in Oakdale

Oakdale does not run a point-of-sale housing ordinance, which makes an independent inspection the only thorough, buyer-side read on the home. Oakdale 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 that Oakdale-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.
How old are most Oakdale homes and what does that mean for a buyer?
Oakdale as a city dates to 1968 and kept growing through the 1990s, so most homes are decades old rather than historic. That means major systems are often in the replacement window: roofs, furnaces, water heaters, windows and some wiring. A good inspection helps you separate normal aging from real defects and plan the next five to ten years of maintenance realistically.
What should Oakdale buyers expect?
Systems from the 70s-90s at or near end of life, and enough original roofing left in the neighborhood that hail history is worth checking.
