Why radon testing matters in North Kingstown

North Kingstown's inland areas sit on varying bedrock and glacial soils that can allow radon migration into homes. Coastal homes are not automatically lower-risk — soil gas moves from directly under the foundation, not from the surrounding landscape.

Wickford's historic homes and North Kingstown's newer subdivisions both benefit from testing, though for different reasons: older homes for their foundation age, and newer homes because tighter construction can trap what does enter.
