Radon Mitigation in Greenview, Rochester MN
Radon work in Greenview, done by people who know the basements.
Greenview is one of those neighborhoods where we won't commit to anything specific over the phone. Two homes a block apart can sit on completely different foundations, and what fits one of them might not be right for the other one at all.
A neighborhood that resists generalizations
Greenview grew in waves rather than as a single development. A street built in 1962 might dead-end into a cul-de-sac built in 1991. The newer cul-de-sac homes have poured foundations and HVAC from this century. The 1962 homes have block walls and a furnace that's on its third replacement.
That kind of variation means the home next door doesn't tell you much about your home, and the home down the block tells you less than that. Anyone giving you a confident answer about Greenview without seeing your specific basement is guessing.
It also means a lot of Greenview homeowners have heard different things from different contractors. If you've had two quotes that didn't agree with each other, that's not unusual around here.

Three steps. On your timeline.
Measure your radon level.
We start with a measurement of what is actually in the air your family breathes. You see the result we see, and we walk through what it means in plain language.
You see the picture first.
Once you have the result, we talk through what your home is dealing with. No scripts, no pressure. You decide what to do next on your own timeline.
A conversation about your home.
If you want to take action, we look at the basement together and talk through what a plan for your foundation could look like. Every home is its own conversation.
Other Rochester neighborhoods we cover.
Country Club Manor
Country Club Manor has lot sizes you don't see much in the rest of Rochester. The houses sit back from the street, the side yards are generous, and there's more room to work with than there is closer to downtown.
Bamber Valley
If your Bamber Valley home was built after June of 2009, the radon prep is already in your slab. Whether or not it's doing what it's supposed to be doing is a different question, and it's the one most owners around here are actually asking.
Hart Farms and Mayo Woodlands
Most of the homes in Hart Farms and Mayo Woodlands are custom builds, and a custom build doesn't look like the house next door. The walkout, the bonus room over the garage, the slab-on-grade addition. Each of those is its own thing.
