Radon Testing in Savage

Radon Testing in Savage, Scott County, by Closer Look Inspectors. Savage is a south-metro suburb of newer subdivisions on the Minnesota River bluffs.

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 Savage.

Savage housing runs to newer subdivisions on the river bluffs, across the bluff-side subdivisions, on bluff and river-terrace ground — and that mix shapes what a radon testing here needs to find.

Local conditions in Savage

Savage does not run a point-of-sale housing ordinance, which makes an independent inspection the only thorough, buyer-side read on the home. Savage sits in Scott 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 Savage-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.
Are Savage's newer homes worth inspecting?
Yes. Newer does not mean flawless. In houses built during rapid growth we often find grading that has settled toward the foundation, missing or poorly sealed attic insulation, and deck attachments that need attention. Inspecting a home in its first ten to twenty years catches problems while they are still inexpensive to correct or claim under a warranty.
Are Savage's bluff lots a concern?
Sloped bluff lots make grading, retaining walls and walkout water entry the priorities.
