Why radon testing matters in Jamestown

Jamestown's island setting sits on varied bedrock and glacial soils. Coastal wind and salt air do not reduce radon — the gas enters from directly beneath the foundation, so results are determined property by property.

Village-center Jamestown homes are often historic with older foundations. Inland and coastal-edge homes vary widely in construction era.
