Radon Testing built for New Brighton homes
New Brighton — south of Mounds View across the Ramsey County line — is a 6.5-square-mile city of about 23,500 residents with one of the most mature housing inventories in the inner-ring north metro. Most of the housing was built between 1955 and 1985: ramblers and split-entries in the western neighborhoods, 1970s-1980s walkouts in the central and eastern areas, and a smaller pocket of 1990s-2010s infill near the Old Highway 8 redevelopment. New Brighton inspections routinely surface Federal Pacific and Zinsco panels, aluminum branch wiring on 1965-1973 builds, original cast iron drain stacks, polybutylene supply lines on 1980s walkouts, and chronic ice dam damage. The high water table around Long Lake and Pike Lake (yes, both of those flow into New Brighton too) drives basement moisture. Schools are Mounds View Public Schools — among the metro's highest-rated districts and a major buyer driver. Long Lake Regional Park, Hansen Park, and the New Brighton Family Service Center anchor the city. We're 16 minutes from any New Brighton address.
That local context shapes how we approach radon testing here. All of Anoka County sits in EPA Radon Zone 1, where roughly 4 in 10 basements test above the 4.0 pCi/L action level. Every New Brighton inspection includes a digital report in 24 hours and a phone walkthrough. A common related finding in New Brighton is radon above action level — we check for it carefully.
