Radon Testing in New Shoreham, Rhode Island
New Shoreham — Block Island — is a small island community roughly 12 miles off the Rhode Island coast, with year-round homes and a large seasonal-rental base.
Why radon testing matters in New Shoreham
Island geography does not exempt a home from radon. Soil gas comes from directly beneath the foundation, and Block Island's mix of older cottages and newer construction produces varied results just like the mainland.
Many Block Island homes are seasonal rentals that sit closed for long winter periods. Testing during closed-house months captures real conditions when the home is buttoned up.
