What the numbers mean here

Spring Grove has the highest basement average in this guide at 21.0 pCi/L, more than five times the EPA action level, and a first-floor average of 9.3 that would itself require mitigation. If you own a home here and have never tested, assume the answer is high and test this month. Free kits are available at lungradonkits.org.

Who serves Spring Grove

Spring Grove sits between York and Hanover, so Absolute Radon Mitigation (York), SWAT's West York line, and Radon Protection Services of Gettysburg all reach it within about 25 minutes. Every firm must be DEP-certified; check the York County certified list.

What it costs

Same as the rest of York County: $800 to $2,500 for a system, most near $1,000 to $1,500, plus $30 to $100 a year to run the fan. Details on the cost page.

Next steps

Test first (a free kit from lungradonkits.org is fine for a first look). If the result is 4.0 or above, get two written bids from certified firms using the vetting checklist. Retest 24 hours after the system goes on, then in the opposite season.
