Stow is one of the most densely populated cities in Summit County, with thousands of homes built on the same radon-producing glacial soil that affects the entire region. From the established neighborhoods along Graham Road and Darrow Road to the subdivisions near Silver Springs Park, radon is a consistent concern. We provide certified radon testing and mitigation throughout Stow.
Radon Risk in Stow, OH
Summit County's EPA Zone 1 classification applies to every neighborhood in Stow. The city's housing stock is diverse — 1950s-60s ranch homes along Graham Road, 1970s-80s colonials in the subdivisions off Darrow Road, and newer construction near Stow-Munroe Falls High School. All of these foundation types contact the same glacial clay soil that traps radon gas.
Stow's location between Twinsburg to the north and Cuyahoga Falls to the west places it in the heart of Summit County's radon belt. The city's flat terrain and high water table also mean more homes rely on sump pumps — and an unsealed sump pit is one of the most significant radon entry points in any home.

Sump Pits in Stow Homes
Stow's relatively flat terrain and high water table mean nearly every home has a sump pump. Many of these sump pits are open or loosely covered, creating a direct pipeline for radon gas from the soil into the basement. Sump pit sealing is one of the most cost-effective radon reduction steps for Stow homeowners, and we include it as part of every full mitigation system installation.
