Radon Testing in Shoreview

Radon Testing in Shoreview, Ramsey County, by Closer Look Inspectors. Shoreview is a lake-rich northern suburb of mid-century and newer homes among the wetlands.

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 Shoreview.

Shoreview housing runs to mid-century and newer homes among the wetlands, across the lake-and-wetland neighborhoods, on lake-adjacent, high-water-table sites — and that mix shapes what a radon testing here needs to find.

Local conditions in Shoreview

Shoreview does not run a point-of-sale housing ordinance, which makes an independent inspection the only thorough, buyer-side read on the home. Shoreview sits in Ramsey 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 Shoreview-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.
Is a rambler from the 1960s in Shoreview worth the repairs it will probably need?
It depends on what the inspection finds. In homes of that era we usually check the original electrical panel, galvanized or older copper supply lines, the sewer lateral, attic insulation and the windows. Many are sound and simply need updates, and the layout is popular. The report ranks each item by urgency, so you can separate a cosmetic wish list from things that need attention before closing.
Do high water tables near Shoreview affect basements?
They can — we look closely at sump pumps, drain tile and basement moisture on these lake-and-wetland lots.
