Radon Testing in St. Francis

Radon Testing in St. Francis, Anoka County, by Closer Look Inspectors. St. Francis is a Rum River exurb of 1990s-2000s subdivisions and rural acreage.

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 St. Francis.

St. Francis housing runs to 1990s-2000s subdivisions and rural acreage, across the subdivisions near the Rum River crossing and the rural lots beyond, on sandy plain along the Rum River — and that mix shapes what a radon testing here needs to find.

Local conditions in St. Francis

Out in St. Francis, many properties sit beyond city sewer and water on private septic systems and wells, so we flag those for the specialized testing they deserve. St. Francis sits in Anoka County, in EPA Radon Zone 2 — a moderate county rating, but MDH reports more than two in five Minnesota homes have radon levels that pose a significant health risk, and a county zone never predicts one house. 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 St. Francis-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.
The city grew 93.5 percent in the 1990s. What does that mean for the houses?
A lot of houses here were built in a short period, often by the same builders, so they share strengths and weaknesses. We see the same items repeatedly: grading that has settled, thin attic ventilation, exterior flashing and original mechanical systems reaching the end of their expected life. Comparing your house to the pattern helps us point out what is typical and what is not.
What is typical in St. Francis homes?
A split market — 90s-2000s subdivision homes due for first roofs and mechanicals, and rural acreage where wells and septic join the scope.
