Radon and Goshen homes
Goshen is a small town at the south end of Utah County, near the southern tip of Utah Lake and the farming community of Elberta. It is one of the most rural communities in the county.
Goshen homes include older houses, manufactured homes and some newer builds, with foundations ranging from crawlspaces to full basements. Many homes are decades old and may have been added onto.
Goshen tip: Because Goshen is at the far south end of the county, confirm a contractor's service area and any trip charge before scheduling. Testing with a low-cost kit first can help you decide if a visit is needed.
Should you test your Goshen home?
Yes. The Utah County Health Department says one out of three Utah homes has unsafe radon levels, and recommends testing at least every five years or after a remodel. The EPA radon zone map places Utah County in Zone 2 (moderate potential), but EPA is clear that the map can't predict any single home and that every home should be tested. Radon in Goshen can differ from house to house, even on the same street.
Test the lowest level of your home that you use as living space. The colder months are the best time to test. You can order a discounted short-term kit through radon.utah.gov, or borrow a professional continuous monitor from the Utah County Health Department's Provo office from October through March for a small fee.
What your result means
- Below 4 pCi/L: below the EPA and Utah action level. Retest every two to five years.
- 4 to 6 pCi/L: Utah DEQ suggests a long-term test to confirm.
- Above 4 pCi/L: EPA and Utah suggest mitigation. Contact a certified professional.
How radon mitigation works in Goshen
According to Utah DEQ, a typical system uses a roughly five-inch hole in the foundation, four-inch PVC pipe and an exhaust fan outside or in the attic to pull radon from under the home and vent it away. DEQ estimates the cost at around $2,000, plus about $8 to $10 a month in electricity, with a fan replacement after about 15 years. Get a retest after the system has run for at least 24 hours, and check the manometer gauge regularly. See our radon mitigation cost guide for what changes the price.
Choosing a contractor
Utah requires mitigation to be done by a licensed contractor with NRPP or NRSB certification. Utah DEQ suggests getting three bids and looking for diagnostic testing, a warning device, a post-install retest and a written guarantee to reach 4 pCi/L or below. When you request a quote, we pass it to an independent, licensed, certified contractor who serves Goshen.
