What makes a street or avenue in a zip code more susceptible to elevated radon gas?

Answer: Yes, there may be large areas with radon penetrated in the soil, but there can also be pockets of radon under homes, meaning it can be random.  Your neighbor could not have elevated radon and your home could test elevated. There is no rule book for determining what part of Racine contains high radon. The only way to know, is to test the home. Racine Radon can quickly set up radon testing with results immediately following the radon test. Radon testing will take a minimum of 48 hours and test is set up. Racine Radon is certified to test homes using all forms or laboratory testing kits as well as our large inventory of  radon monitors. Many of our testers have additional training in schools and multi-family building radon measurement. In fact, Racine Radon has more multifamily trained measurement professionals in the state of Wisconsin. We know radon testing! We are the BEST radon measurement in Racine, Wisconsin hands down.

Racine is no different than other parts of Wisconsin and even the United States. Homes and buildings always need to be tested before determining if it is safe from radon gas penetration. Some studies have show Racine County to have a 5.1pCi/L average of indoor Radon measurement level, when sampled. A 5.1pCi/L is clearly above the EPA suggested action level. EPA urges all Americans to take action to lower radon levels above 4.0 pCi/L.

In Racine, many roads and streets move from one zip code to the next. For instance, a home located on 6th Street, Racine, WI 53404 tested and to be found to have elevated radon, but a another home can be located on the same street, but different zip code, further down the road at 6th Street, Racine, WI 53403, with safe indoor radon levels. Again, radon measurement is the only way to know. The longer you wait, the longer your family could be exposed to this known carcinogen to humans.
