Radon Testing in Redwood Falls

Radon Testing in Redwood Falls, Redwood County, by Closer Look Inspectors. Redwood Falls is a Minnesota River valley city of older homes above the river gorge.

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 Redwood Falls.

Redwood Falls housing runs to older homes above the Minnesota River gorge, across the neighborhoods above the gorge and the town core, on gorge-edge ground and prairie till — and that mix shapes what a radon testing here needs to find.

Local conditions in Redwood Falls

Out in Redwood Falls, many properties sit beyond city sewer and water on private septic systems and wells, so we flag those for the specialized testing they deserve. Redwood Falls sits in Redwood 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 Redwood Falls-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.
Do gorge-edge lots affect Redwood Falls homes?
They concentrate runoff and can drive long-term foundation movement, so on those lots grading, retaining structures and foundation cracking are best considered together rather than in isolation. Older systems get the usual close look.
