Minnesota Radon Map Minnesota Home Inspectors LLC

Radon in homes has been at the forefront of real estate news lately.  Word has it that the State of Minnesota is paving the way to require testing of homes at the time of sale.  Minnesota has already made the requirement that all newly constructed homes have a radon mitigation system installed.

We at Minnesota Home Inspectors LLC thought it would be a cool idea to plot our findings to a map.  So we dug out our testing results since 2011 and loaded them into the map below.  Green icons indicate readings below the EPA action level of 4.0 pc/l.  Yellow icons indicate radon levels 4.0 to 10.0.  Red icons indicate radon levels over 10.0 pc/l.  Both yellow and red icons indicate radon levels which should be mitigated.

Examining the map indicates a couple things to us.  One is there seems to be a correlation between radon levels and bodies of water.  Secondly, there's no way to know whether levels will be high or low without testing.
