Radon Testing in Staples

Radon Testing in Staples, Todd County, by Closer Look Inspectors. Staples is a railroad town of early-1900s homes on flat sandy outwash.

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 Staples.

Staples housing runs to early-1900s railroad-town homes, across the older grid near the rail yard, on flat sandy outwash plain — and that mix shapes what a radon testing here needs to find.

Local conditions in Staples

Out in Staples, many properties sit beyond city sewer and water on private septic systems and wells, so we flag those for the specialized testing they deserve. Staples sits in Todd 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 five-foot depth Minnesota Rules 1303.1600 require in the state's northern frost zone, and that annual freeze-thaw cycle is what drives the settlement cracks, frost heave and ice-dam wear that Staples-area homes face.

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.
What is common in Staples homes?
Early-1900s railroad-era stock with original systems, and sandy permeable soils that make radon testing worthwhile despite good natural drainage.
