Radon Levels in Newark, OH
Newark is the county seat of Licking County, which the Ohio EPA classifies as Zone 1, the highest radon potential category in the state. Licking County consistently ranks among the highest-testing counties in Ohio, with average indoor readings reported well above the 4.0 pCi/L action level the EPA recommends acting on.
The shale bedrock beneath the Licking River valley, where the North Fork and South Fork converge near downtown, releases radon gas into the soil, which then enters homes through foundation cracks, sump pits, and gaps around utility lines. This affects homes throughout downtown Newark and its surrounding neighborhoods alike, regardless of age or construction type.
Testing is the only way to know your home’s actual level, and homeowners can register for a free test kit through the Ohio Department of Health Radon Program.

Buying or Selling a Home in Newark?
Radon testing is a routine part of real estate transactions in Licking County, given the area’s Zone 1 classification and consistently high readings. Here’s what buyers and sellers in Newark typically need to know:
A radon test during your inspection period tells you whether the home you're considering has elevated levels before you close. If results come back above 4.0 pCi/L, mitigation can often be scheduled and completed before your closing date.
Testing ahead of listing your home can prevent surprises during a buyer's inspection and give you time to address results on your own timeline instead of under contract pressure. A clean radon report can also be a selling point in a county where buyers already expect the question to come up.
Most real estate radon tests take 48 to 96 hours to complete, and we provide a signed report that meets the standards lenders, agents, and inspectors expect.

Trusted by Homeowners Across Newark, OH
Yes, more so than in many other parts of the state. Newark is the county seat of Licking County, which the Ohio EPA classifies as Zone 1, and Licking County has some of the highest average indoor radon readings reported in Ohio.
The shale bedrock throughout the county, and especially in the Licking River valley where Newark sits, releases radon gas into the soil at higher concentrations than in many neighboring counties. This is why testing is especially important here.
Most standard sub-slab mitigation systems in Ohio cost between $800 and $1,500, depending on your home’s foundation type, size, and how complex the pipe routing is. Homes with very high readings, which are more common in Licking County, can sometimes need a more robust system and run higher.
We provide a free, no-obligation quote after assessing your specific property, so you know the exact cost before any work begins.
It’s not legally required in Ohio, but it’s strongly recommended and commonly requested during real estate transactions in Licking County given how high local readings tend to run. Many lenders and agents expect it as part of the closing process. The EPA publishes a Home Buyer’s and Seller’s Guide to Radon covering what to expect during a transaction.
