Kentwood and Kent County
Kentwood routes through our Kent County territory with Grand Rapids, Wyoming, Ada, and Byron Center. EPA places Kent County in Zone 1 on its Map of Radon Zones. Michigan does not license radon professionals at the state level; look for NRPP or NRSB national certification.
If the result surfaced in a transaction
Family moves and metro relocations drive a steady market. Michigan handles radon through the general Seller’s Disclosure Statement rather than a radon-specific statute, so buyers should order their own test during the inspection period.

The housing you’re mitigating
Expect postwar ranches and split-levels on block or poured foundations alongside newer subdivision construction with deep basements and sump systems. Split-levels deserve zone-by-zone quotes naming every foundation section — the failure mode is a quote that silently skips one.

Kentwood questions, answered straight
How does mitigation work on a split-level?
By treating the house as its zones — basement slab, any slab-on-grade section, and any crawl area, commonly all on one fan. Watch for a quote that skips a zone.
Should mitigation happens before finishing the basement?
Yes. An open basement is when suction placement and routing are cheapest and most flexible, and finishing over a mitigated, verified slab locks the outcome in.
How do we verify the system worked?
Insist the post-mitigation radon test be in the scope of work. Run under closed-house conditions after startup, it proves the indoor number dropped rather than merely that the fan is running.
