The Minnesota Department of Health (MDH) has prepared a fact sheet on radon in home sales for real estate professionals. Here are some key points:
- MDH recommends all homes are tested, including during home sales, homes with radon mitigation systems and all newly constructed Minnesota homes regardless of foundation type.
- Anyone who conducts radon work in a building they do not own or lease must be licensed (check the MDH website for licensed individuals).
- Professionals must test each foundation type (tell the professional the number of foundations).
- Specific house conditions must be maintained during testing (ask the seller to review and sign the radon test notification form).
- Licensed mitigation professionals must affix MDH-issued tags to mitigation systems.
- Homeowners can request free inspections of mitigation systems installed after 6/1/20 (contact MDH).
