⚠ Radon Levels Threaten Health and Home Sales
Washington County has some of Minnesota's highest radon levels - this invisible, odorless gas causes lung cancer and shows up in thousands of homes. Home sales fall through when radon tests come back high and sellers haven't addressed the problem. Testing costs under $200, mitigation systems run $1,200-$2,500, and the work takes one day. Test your home now, especially if you have a basement or if the house was built before 2000. Our contractors install radon mitigation systems that meet EPA standards and include warranties. Don't wait until you're under contract to find a radon problem that kills your sale.
