Radon mitigation in Crookston, Minnesota
Radon testing and systems for Crookston homes along the Red Lake River, from older houses near downtown to newer ones on the edges of town.
Crookston is the county seat of Polk County and had 7,482 residents at the 2020 census. It was settled around 1872, once had eight rail lines coming into town, and is home to the University of Minnesota Crookston. The Red Lake River winds through the city, and part of the town commutes to Grand Forks.
Older housing stock
A town of this age has a lot of houses built well before anyone talked about radon: fieldstone and block basements, dirt-floor cellar sections, and additions put on over the decades. These foundations tend to have many cracks and openings, so a system may need careful sealing and sometimes more than one suction point.
What radon work comes up in Crookston?
- Sub-slab systems in older basements, with sealing of stone or block walls where needed
- Membrane systems for crawl space and dirt-floor sections
- Testing for home sales, with Minnesota's radon disclosure in mind
- Testing and systems for rentals near the university
Licensing and paperwork
Crookston is in Minnesota, so testing in a home you don't own and installing a mitigation system both require an MDH license. When the job is done, look for the MDH tag on the pipe beside the gauge and keep the operation, maintenance and monitoring plan with your house papers.
