Serving Delaware, Ohio with certified sub-slab depressurization radon mitigation systems, continuous 48-hour testing monitors, and emergency fan replacement.
Radon Risk & Soil Geology in Delaware, OH
Delaware sits north of the Columbus till plain on glacial till and outwash over Ohio Shale. As one of Ohio's fastest-growing counties, Delaware has seen rapid new construction on previously agricultural land — and that newly developed, often well-drained soil lets radon move freely toward fresh foundations. The mix of 19th-century downtown foundations and modern builds means radon risk spans the full age range of housing here.
Housing & Foundations in Delaware
Delaware's housing ranges from historic homes near downtown and the Ohio Wesleyan University campus to sprawling new subdivisions west and north of the city. Older foundations have settling cracks and unsealed sumps; the rapid new construction is tighter and can trap radon indoors. We design each system around the foundation type and a sub-slab communication test.
Real Estate & Radon in Delaware
Delaware's rapid growth drives a busy resale and new-construction market, and radon tests are standard in the inspection process. We test many newly built homes that still exceed 4.0 pCi/L and coordinate with builders and agents to address radon before or right after closing.
Permits & Local Notes
The City of Delaware does not require a separate residential radon mitigation permit. We follow local electrical code for the fan connection and meet setback requirements for the exhaust discharge.

Delaware Homeowner Radon Questions
Do brand-new Delaware homes need radon systems?
Yes. Even newly built homes in Delaware can exceed 4.0 pCi/L. Tighter, energy-efficient construction traps radon indoors, so we recommend testing within the first year.
Is Delaware County a high radon area?
Delaware County is in EPA Radon Zone 1, the highest risk category. Our on-site test data shows steady elevated readings — not official ODH or EPA statistics.
Can you install before my Delaware closing?
Yes. We prioritize real estate timelines and can usually fit a test and install within the inspection contingency window.
Should I test before finishing my Delaware basement?
Yes. The EPA recommends testing before finishing a basement — sealing the slab is far easier before walls go up.
