Radon Testing & Mitigation in Blackfoot, ID

Blackfoot, the Bingham County seat about 25 miles north of Pocatello, is a historic railroad and agricultural town founded in 1878, the self-proclaimed Potato Capital of the World. It's worth noting Blackfoot is in Bingham County, not Bannock, but it sits on the same Snake River Plain geology that gives Southeast Idaho some of the highest radon potential in the country.

Blackfoot's housing splits into two groups that both matter for radon. The historic downtown core has homes dating to the early 1900s, some quite distinctive, like the 1905 lava-rock John Brown Mansion, with older foundations that have had decades to settle and develop the cracks and joints radon uses to get indoors. For these homes, an experienced provider assesses the specific foundation and designs a sub-slab or sub-membrane system accordingly. On the other end, Blackfoot's affordability makes it popular with first-time buyers, and there's newer, more affordable construction on the edges of town, on the same radon-producing soil, that's typically a straightforward sub-slab candidate.

Many properties in the surrounding rural areas are on private wells, worth keeping in mind if an air test comes back high, since radon can enter through well water. Whether your home is a historic downtown house or newer construction, testing is the only way to know your level.
