Radon Testing in New Albany: a Georgian-style master-planned community built almost entirely after 1995 around a small original 1837 village core foundations and Columbus-area geology
Radon Testing in New Albany involves short-term (2-7 day) charcoal canister or continuous radon monitor placement on the lowest occupied level, working on the lowest lived-in level of the home where occupants spend more than 4 hours per day. The service is the first step for any home that has not been tested in the last 2 years, for any home being sold, and for any home after a significant foundation, basement, or HVAC modification.
New Albany's post-1995 master-planned housing sits almost entirely on full poured concrete basements with an interior sump pit built in from the start, which makes standard sub-slab depressurization the low-disruption default here. Larger custom-built homes on the community's bigger lots sometimes combine a basement with a crawl-space addition, which can call for multi-zone mitigation rather than a single suction point. The small original village core on the Licking County side predates the master plan and has older, shallower foundations that need to be assessed on their own terms. Rocky Fork Creek runs through the master-planned community, and New Albany's footprint straddles the Franklin and Licking County line, a legacy of the original 1837 village sitting on the Licking County side. New Albany sits on geology that drives elevated regional radon exposure across the Columbus metro, including Franklin / Licking County.
Franklin County testing applies across all of EPA Zone 1, but the aged, cracked slabs in Columbus's older neighborhoods are more likely to show an elevated short-term reading than the newer, more uniform poured basements in Dublin and Hilliard, which is why a retest after any slab or foundation repair is standard practice here.
ANSI/AARST MAH-2023 establishes the residential measurement protocol. Closed-house conditions must be maintained throughout short-term testing. The Ohio Department of Health Radon Licensing Program oversees radon program compliance for New Albany, and Ohio licensure under ORC 3723.02 applies to any contractor performing mitigation work in the state.
