Radon Testing in Woodland

Radon Testing in Woodland, Hennepin County, by Closer Look Inspectors. Woodland is a small Lake Minnetonka city, once the village of Maplewoods, known for the Old Stone Arch estate remnant, and we calibrate every visit to that.

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.

Tuned to Woodland.

Woodland housing runs to large lakeshore homes from the estate years around 1900, mid-century houses after the 1948 incorporation, and newer rebuilds, across the wooded residential streets along Lake Minnetonka, County Road 101, and the Old Stone Arch, on the wooded moraine of the Big Woods country on the shore of Lake Minnetonka — and that mix shapes what a radon testing here needs to find. Instrument-grade tools, a local eye, every visit.

Local conditions in Woodland

Woodland does not run a point-of-sale housing ordinance, which makes an independent inspection the only thorough, buyer-side read on the home. Woodland sits in Hennepin 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 we calibrate every Woodland visit to find.

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.
What should I know about stone and masonry on old Woodland estates?
Woodland was settled in 1882 and incorporated in 1948 as Maplewoods, then renamed Woodland in 1949. Its best-known landmark is the Old Stone Arch, a lake-stone entry built around 1900 for a lakeshore estate and restored in 2011. That is a useful clue: older estate lots often have stone walls, chimneys, foundations and retaining walls built long ago. We check mortar, cracking, tuckpointing needs, flashing and chimney condition, and whether water is pushing on stone or block walls. Hidden wood framing behind stone finishes gets a close look for moisture.
