Radon and Mequon homes
Mequon is in Ozaukee County, north of Milwaukee, with many larger homes on bigger lots. Bigger homes can have large basements, additions on separate foundations or a mix of basement and crawl space, which can mean more than one suction point. Many Mequon homes also use private wells.
Radon in well water
Radon can also be found in well water and released into the air when you shower or run water. Most of the radon risk in a home comes from soil gas, which an air test measures. If you have a private well, ask your contractor or the Wisconsin Department of Health Services whether testing your water makes sense too.

Frequently asked questions
Does a large Mequon home need more than one radon fan?
Not always. Many large homes need one fan with one or more suction points. It depends on the foundation and how air moves under it.
Should I test my well water for radon?
If you have a private well, it's worth asking about. Air testing comes first, since soil gas is the main source of radon in most homes.
Can a radon pipe be run outside to keep it out of sight?
Yes. Pipes can run up the outside wall, through the garage or through the attic. Ask the contractor which looks best on your home.
