Radon mitigation in Columbus
What Columbus homes mean for radon mitigation
Columbus proper includes some of the oldest housing stock in the metro, from German Village's brick rowhouses on shallow stone foundations to Hilltop and Linden's early-1900s worker housing over full basements, alongside mid-century ranch neighborhoods on standard poured basements. The city sits on the same Devonian-period limestone and shale bedrock that puts all of Franklin County in EPA Zone 1, so elevated readings show up across every one of these housing generations. Downtown's newer condo and infill construction is the exception, since slab-on-grade and structured-parking foundations change the soil-gas entry path entirely.
Downtown Columbus sits at the confluence of the Scioto and Olentangy rivers, with the rest of the city spread across the flat glacial till plain typical of central Ohio.
