Radon Testing & Mitigation in Ammon, ID

Ammon is one of Eastern Idaho's fastest-growing communities, and most of that growth is happening in new subdivisions along the city's southern and eastern edges, developments like Hillcrest Ranch, Bridgewater, and Sand Pointe. That growth matters for radon, because Ammon sits on the same Snake River Plain soil as the rest of Bonneville County, where the Idaho Department of Health and Welfare estimates roughly 2 in 5 homes test above the EPA action level of 4.0 pCi/L. Every new home going up here is being built on radon-producing ground.

For new construction specifically, Ammon buyers and builders have a real advantage if they act early: a passive radon-resistant rough-in built in during construction costs a few hundred dollars, versus $1,500 to $3,000 to retrofit a finished home later. If you're building in one of the newer Ammon subdivisions, it's worth asking your builder whether a passive radon system is in the plans, and testing once the home has been lived in through a winter.

Established Ammon neighborhoods closer to Hillcrest and the older core have a mix of full basements and slab foundations, most of which are straightforward candidates for sub-slab depressurization if a test comes back high. Whether your home is brand new or decades old, the only way to know your radon level is to test.
