What does radon testing typically find in New Hope homes?

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

Yes — and especially in New Hope. 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 Boone and Sunny Hollow?

Yes. We routinely inspect throughout New Hope, including Boone, Bass Lake, Northwood, and the surrounding New Hope-area communities.
