Radon Testing in Providence County

Radon Testing in Woonsocket, Rhode Island

Woonsocket, in the northeast corner of Providence County along the Blackstone River, is a historic mill city with a dense downtown and surrounding single- and multi-family neighborhoods.

Why radon testing matters in Woonsocket

Woonsocket's location in northern Rhode Island puts many homes on or near granite and metamorphic bedrock that can be a source of radon. Combined with older housing that was not designed with radon in mind, this makes testing a straightforward step for any Woonsocket homeowner.

Many Woonsocket homes were built during the mill era, with stone foundations and coal-chute vestiges. Modern testing works the same way in these homes as it does in newer construction.
