Radon Testing built for Centerville homes
Centerville is a 2.6-square-mile Anoka County city of about 4,300 residents, nestled between Lino Lakes and Hugo around the western shore of Centerville Lake. The housing inventory is heavily 1990s-2010s — Centerville saw most of its growth in the past 30 years — with a smaller pocket of original 1960s-70s lake homes and a handful of pre-1950 farmstead originals. Centerville inspections in the newer stock surface typical post-1990 findings: EIFS-stucco moisture intrusion on the higher-end lake homes, builder-grade water heaters past lifespan, attic moisture from undersized ventilation, sump pump systems without backup, polybutylene on a small subset of 1990s builds, and engineered I-joist squeaks. Lakefront homes face shoreline grading issues and seasonal high water table effects on basements. Schools are Centennial School District 12 — major buyer driver. Centerville Lake itself, Rice Creek Chain of Lakes Regional Park, and the historic St. Genevieve Catholic Church define the city. Drive time from Blaine: 18 minutes.
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 Centerville inspection includes a digital report in 24 hours and a phone walkthrough. A common related finding in Centerville is radon above action level — we check for it carefully.
