Radon Testing in Pawtucket, Rhode Island
Pawtucket, on the Blackstone River just north of Providence, is a historic mill city with a housing mix of century-old multi-families, mill-worker cottages, and newer infill construction.
Why radon testing matters in Pawtucket
Pawtucket's older housing stock frequently has stone or block foundations, sump systems, and basement floor drains — all pathways that can allow soil gas to move indoors. Testing gives homeowners a specific number instead of a guess based on the age of the home.
Many Pawtucket properties are two- and three-family homes where the ground-floor unit sits directly above the basement. Testing in the lowest occupied unit is usually where the measurement matters most.
