Protect Your Home: Why Radon Mitigation is Essential for Minnesota Homeowners

Radon is a silent, invisible threat lurking in many homes across Minnesota. As a naturally occurring radioactive gas, radon can seep into homes through the soil, putting your family’s health at risk. Yet, it’s often overlooked because it’s odorless and invisible. At Elite Radon we’re dedicated to educating Minnesota homeowners about the risks of radon exposure and providing solutions to ensure your home remains a safe haven.

Why is Radon a Concern in Minnesota?

Minnesota's unique geology makes the state particularly susceptible to high radon levels. The soil and rock beneath our homes naturally release radon gas, which can accumulate in enclosed spaces like basements, crawl spaces, and even living areas. In fact, the Minnesota Department of Health (MDH) reports that 2 in 5 homes in the state have radon levels that exceed the EPA’s recommended action level of 4.0 pCi/L.

This is especially concerning because long-term radon exposure is the second leading cause of lung cancer in the United States. For non-smokers, it’s the number one cause. Protecting your family from radon exposure is not just a good idea—it’s a critical health decision.

How Does Radon Enter Your Home?

Radon enters your home through:

• Cracks in floors and walls

• Construction joints

• Gaps around pipes and wires

• Sump pumps or drains

Even homes without basements aren’t immune. Whether your home is old or new, radon can find its way inside. The only way to know your radon levels is through testing.

The Importance of Radon Testing

Testing your home for radon is simple and affordable. We recommend testing during the colder months when windows and doors are closed, as this is when radon levels are often at their peak. These measurements test radon levels over a few days and provide a quick snapshot of your home's radon exposure. At Elite Radon, we offer professional radon testing services to help you determine if action is needed.

Radon Mitigation: Your Solution to Safer Air

If your home has elevated radon levels, don’t panic. Radon mitigation systems are highly effective and can significantly reduce radon levels, making your home safer.

A typical mitigation system involves:

• Installing a vent pipe system to draw radon gas from beneath the house.

• Using a specialized fan to vent the gas safely outside.

Our team at Elite Radon designs custom mitigation systems tailored to your home’s layout and needs, ensuring optimal protection.
