New city, old geology

Meridian is one of the fastest-growing cities in the country, and almost everything here is new. That fools people on radon. The gas comes from uranium decaying in the soil the subdivisions sit on, not from the age of the house, and tighter new construction can actually hold more of it in. Statewide, 2 in 5 tested Idaho homes come back high, new builds included.

Meridian housing is dominated by crawl space construction, which is the Treasure Valley's main radon entry path. The good news for newer builds: many include a passive radon rough-in, the vertical pipe stubbed through the house without a fan. If your test comes back high, activating a rough-in is one of the cheapest mitigation jobs there is, the hard construction is already done and we're adding the fan and verifying the result. Homes without a rough-in get a standard sealed sub-membrane system.

Meridian also leads the valley in home sales volume, which means radon most often shows up here mid-transaction, a high number on the inspection report with a closing date attached. That's the exact job our real estate radon service is built for: install within days, clearance test in 24 to 48 hours.

Common questions

My Meridian house is brand new. Can it really have radon?

Yes. Radon comes from the soil, not the age of the house, and new construction is often tighter, which can hold radon in. Idaho DHW is clear that new builds test high just like older homes. The only way to know is to test.

My builder said the house has a radon rough-in. Am I covered?

Partially. Many newer Meridian builds include a passive radon rough-in, the pipe without the fan. Passive systems help, but if your test still reads high, activating the rough-in with a fan is a quick, lower-cost job because the hard part is already built.
