Radon Testing in Roscoe

Radon Testing in Roscoe, Stearns County, by Closer Look Inspectors. Roscoe is a Stearns County farm village built around St. Agnes Church, once called Zion.

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 Roscoe.

Roscoe housing runs to early-1900s farm-village houses, a thin postwar stock, and a scattering of newer builds and acreages, across the small townsite around St. Agnes Church, the old Great Northern grade and the farms of the surrounding township, on glacial drift plain of central Stearns County, in the Sauk River country — and that mix shapes what a radon testing here needs to find.

Local conditions in Roscoe

Roscoe does not run a point-of-sale housing ordinance, which makes an independent inspection the only thorough, buyer-side read on the home. Roscoe sits in Stearns 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 Roscoe-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.
Roscoe was once called Zion — what does that history say about its houses?
It says the village is old and built around a church. Roscoe began as Zion with a post office in 1865, was renamed in 1914 for a railroad executive, and the Great Northern tracks were abandoned in 1988. A church was dedicated on the St. Agnes site in 1898. Houses cluster near the church and the old rail line and run to a century old. Foundations and basement walls, old wiring and plumbing, roof age and chimneys, and whether each home is on a private well and septic system are the main questions.
