Why radon testing matters in Middletown

Middletown's mix of shoreline and inland housing, plus a large stock of mid-century single-family homes, produces varied radon results. Coastal proximity does not lower risk — soil gas comes from beneath the foundation, not the surrounding water.

Many Middletown homes have full basements or crawl spaces. Both configurations have radon-entry considerations that testing accounts for.
