Radon mitigation quotes in St. Paul
St. Paul is the older of the Twin Cities, with grand historic districts on Summit Avenue and the surrounding hills, dense working neighborhoods on the east side and West Seventh, and river-bluff housing above the Mississippi.
Historic foundations are where mitigation design earns its keep. We introduce St. Paul homeowners to independent, MDH-licensed contractors for free quotes.
St. Paul and Ramsey County
St. Paul is the Ramsey County seat, and its residential ZIP codes route through our Ramsey territory, which also covers Roseville, Maplewood, Shoreview, and the city’s north side. EPA places Ramsey County in Zone 1. Minnesota licenses radon professionals through the Department of Health.
If the result surfaced in a transaction
Minnesota’s Radon Awareness Act requires sellers to disclose known radon information and provide the MDH publication before a purchase agreement is signed. Nothing requires testing or mitigation. In the historic districts, how a system will be routed is a legitimate negotiation point alongside whether one is installed.

The housing you’re mitigating
The historic districts bring brick, stone, and early block foundations with a century of additions, full basements often finished, and porch crawl spaces. Bluff-side homes may have multiple slab elevations. East-side and newer stock is conventional block or poured construction with more straightforward routing.

St. Paul questions, answered straight
Can a Summit-area historic home be mitigated discreetly?
Yes, and you should require it. Contractors route pipe on rear or side elevations, through the garage, or up an interior chase to the roof precisely to preserve character-defining elevations. Ask for photos of previous historic-home work when comparing bidders.
Our house has a stone foundation and a dirt-floor section. Feasible?
Yes, with both conditions in the design. Exposed soil gets a sealed durable membrane with suction drawn beneath it; the masonry gets careful sealing, with suction points chosen after measuring how air moves under the floor. Confirm the quote names the dirt-floor area.
Does Minnesota require the seller to fix an elevated result?
No. The Radon Awareness Act is a disclosure law — sellers share what they know and provide the MDH publication. Whether anyone mitigates, and who pays, is negotiated like any other inspection finding.
