Home Buyers and Sellers Guide to Radon at Lake Tahoe
In this series, we will explore why the very best time to plan for Radon mitigation is right away during construction. Nevertheless, there also are economical and effective Radon mitigation measures for pre-existing homes.
A Tahoe-Centric Approach to Radon
Welcome to our Radon at Tahoe series, presented to share information with Lake Tahoe residents who may not know that the Lake Tahoe area is a high Radon area, and what the U.S .Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) says can be done to reduce the problem of high Radon gas that can build up in homes. This guide started as a simple review of the EPA's Radon guide for home buyers and sellers. Since its beginnings, we have added personal experiences with Radon testing and mitigation and more information from many other sources, to fill our Radon at Tahoe series with specifics for Lake Tahoe real estate.
Where Radon is Highest at Tahoe
Of all Lake Tahoe areas, South Lake Tahoe has the highest Radon levels, according to the Radon Potential Zone Map for the Lake Tahoe Area, California By Ronald K. Churchill, Ph.D. Wow!
