Radon Testing in Olivia

Radon Testing in Olivia, Renville County, by Closer Look Inspectors. Olivia is the Renville County seat of older and postwar homes in corn-country prairie.

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 Olivia.

Olivia housing runs to older and postwar county-seat homes, across the Highway 212 core, on flat, tiled corn-country prairie clay — and that mix shapes what a radon testing here needs to find.

Local conditions in Olivia

Out in Olivia, many properties sit beyond city sewer and water on private septic systems and wells, so we flag those for the specialized testing they deserve. Olivia sits in Renville 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 Olivia-area homes face.
