Radon and Pleasant Grove homes
Pleasant Grove sits at the foot of Mount Timpanogos between American Fork and Lindon. It's sometimes called "Utah's City of Trees" and has a historic downtown plus neighborhoods climbing toward the foothills.
Pleasant Grove has older homes near downtown and many newer homes on the benches, plenty with full basements. Its older neighborhoods include ramblers with basements that were finished decades after the home was built.
Pleasant Grove tip: If your basement was finished long after the home was built, consider retesting. The Utah County Health Department recommends testing after a remodel.
Should you test your Pleasant Grove 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 Pleasant Grove 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 Pleasant Grove
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 Pleasant Grove.
