Radon and Wauwatosa homes
Wauwatosa sits in Milwaukee County, just west of Milwaukee. Many neighborhoods are full of homes built in the early and middle 1900s: brick bungalows, Tudors and colonials with full basements. Older basements often have more ways for soil gas to get in, like stone or block walls, floor cracks, floor drains and open sump pits. Newer homes toward the west side of the city can have high radon too. Age doesn't decide your level. Only a test does.
What a system looks like in an older Tosa basement
Most Wauwatosa homes with a concrete basement floor can use sub-slab depressurization: a sealed pipe through the floor and a fan that vents radon above the roof. In older homes, the contractor may also seal floor cracks, the gap where the floor meets the wall, and an open sump pit. On homes where looks matter from the street, ask about routing the pipe through the garage or attic instead of up the front or side of the house.

Frequently asked questions
Do old Wauwatosa homes have more radon than new ones?
Not always. Older basements can have more openings, but any home can test high. Testing is the only way to know.
Can a radon pipe be hidden on a Wauwatosa home?
Often it can run through a garage, closet or attic instead of the outside wall. Ask the contractor what fits your home.
Does a finished Tosa basement change the job?
It can. Finished walls and ceilings may change where the pipe goes. The contractor will plan a route that limits damage to the finish.
