Twinsburg's high radon levels come down to geology. The area's glacial till soil is rich in uranium-bearing minerals, and as that uranium decays it releases radon gas that gets trapped underground and pushed into homes.
The Soil Beneath Twinsburg
Summit County sits on dense, clay-heavy glacial deposits layered over fractured limestone. That clay acts like a lid, trapping radon gas in the soil rather than letting it disperse into open air. The pressure builds and the gas takes the path of least resistance — straight up into the homes above it.
How It Enters Your Home
- Cracks and joints in basement floors and walls
- Open or loosely covered sump pits
- Gaps around plumbing and utility penetrations
- The natural porosity of concrete itself
- Exposed soil in crawl spaces
The Fix
A sub-slab depressurization system reverses the pressure, drawing radon out from beneath the foundation before it can enter. Start with a test or call (330) 555-8201.
