Radon Guide for Minnesota Realtors

Radon is common across Minnesota, where the Department of Health reports a large share of homes test above the EPA action level of 4.0 pCi/L. Advise buyers — especially of walkout-basement homes near the lake — to test, since elevated radon is reliably fixed with a mitigation system and is rarely a deal breaker.

Why Minnesota tests high

Local soils release radon and the heating-dominated climate keeps homes closed up, letting it accumulate — particularly in walkout basements used as living space.

Testing and mitigation

An EPA-protocol 48-hour test establishes the level; a sub-slab depressurization system reliably reduces it. See radon measurement.

Framing it for buyers

Elevated radon is a negotiation item, not a reason to walk — mitigation is straightforward and effective.
