What does radon testing typically find in Minnetonka homes?

In Minnetonka, the most common findings during radon testing include elevated levels (≥4.0 pCi/L) in roughly 40% of Minnesota homes, stack-effect amplification in tall homes with leaky envelopes, sump pits as primary radon entry points.

Do I really need radon testing on a newer home in Minnetonka?

Yes — and especially in Minnetonka. New construction homes in Minnesota are required to be built radon-resistant, but the passive system installed during framing is exactly that — passive. Testing confirms whether activation is needed.

Do you serve neighborhoods like Glen Lake and Excelsior Boulevard corridor?

Yes. We routinely inspect throughout Minnetonka, including Glen Lake, Cedar Lake, Crane Lake, and the surrounding Minnetonka-area communities.
