Radon Testing & Mitigation in Inkom, ID

Inkom is a small Bannock County community tucked into the Portneuf Canyon along the Portneuf River, between Pocatello and McCammon, with roots going back to 1890s homesteading. Its setting, right in the Portneuf Valley that drives Pocatello's elevated radon, means Inkom homes sit on the same radon-producing geology, where the county average runs around 7.0 pCi/L and roughly 41 percent of tested homes come back above the 4.0 action level.

Inkom's housing skews toward older homes and rural properties, with a mix of foundation types, basements, crawl spaces, and mixed foundations from additions over the years. Older foundations tend to have more of the cracks, joints, and settling that give radon paths indoors, which is exactly the range an experienced provider designs radon systems around. Crawl-space homes use sub-membrane depressurization; basements and slabs use sub-slab depressurization; mixed foundations often need a combined system.

As a small, semi-rural community, many Inkom properties are on private wells rather than municipal water. If your home is on a well and an air test comes back high, radon can also enter through well water and release into the air during showering and dishwashing, so it's worth discussing water testing with your provider.
