Radon Testing & Mitigation in American Falls, ID
Serving American Falls homeowners in Power County, a city with a unique history that shapes its foundations and its radon picture.
American Falls has one of the most unusual histories of any city in the region, and it's directly relevant to radon. In 1925 and 1926, the entire town was physically moved to make way for the American Falls Dam and reservoir, over 340 homes were relocated up the hill and re-set on new foundations. American Falls is the seat of Power County (not Bannock), but sits on the same Snake River Plain geology that produces elevated radon across Southeast Idaho.
That relocation history matters because a home that was moved and re-set on a new foundation nearly a century ago has had a long time for that foundation to settle, crack, and develop the joints and penetrations radon uses to get indoors. Many of American Falls' modest historic homes, craftsman bungalows and similar early-1900s styles, fall into this category. An experienced provider will assess the specific foundation, which for these older homes can be a basement, crawl space, or a mix, and design a sub-slab or sub-membrane system accordingly.
American Falls also has newer construction on the same radon-producing ground, and many properties in the surrounding rural areas are on private wells, worth keeping in mind if an air test comes back high. Whether your home is a relocated historic house or newer construction, testing is the only way to know your level.

Does American Falls' relocated-home history affect radon?
It can. Homes moved and re-set on new foundations in the 1920s have had a long time for those foundations to settle and develop cracks and joints that give radon paths indoors. It doesn't guarantee high radon, but it's a good reason to test these older homes.
Is American Falls in the same high-radon area as Pocatello?
Yes. Although American Falls is in Power County rather than Bannock, it sits on the same Snake River Plain geology that produces elevated radon throughout Southeast Idaho. Testing is just as important here.
