Loudon is the county seat of Loudon County, southwest of Knoxville along the Tennessee River and the I-75 corridor. It is its own county, separate from Knox, with a small downtown and a mix of older houses, lakeside homes and newer builds. We serve Loudon from Knoxville. We do not have an office in town, and we make appointments by phone.
You cannot see, smell or feel radon. It is a natural gas that moves from soil into homes, and the amount indoors depends on the ground under your lot and on the house itself. A neighbor's low number says very little about yours. A test is the only way to find your own, and a short-term test done properly takes a few days. We explain how readings are interpreted on our radon levels page.
Homes around Loudon have basements, crawl spaces and slabs, sometimes all in the same house after an addition. The fix depends on which one you have:
Slab or basement floor. We cut a small opening, pull a bit of soil from beneath, and connect a vent pipe to a fan that sends the gas above the roofline. It is the most common design.
Crawl space. A plastic sheet goes over the ground and we draw air from under it. Our page on crawl space mitigation goes through that in more detail.
Mixed foundations. A house with an old crawl space and a newer slab addition may need more than one suction point. We check each section instead of assuming one will serve them all.
We place the monitors on the lowest lived-in level, tell you how to keep conditions closed up while they run, and pick them up on schedule. The lab-quality result arrives in a written report. If the number is above the level where action is recommended, we explain your options and the cost range before anything is installed. Our cost guide shows what moves the price. After a system goes in, we retest, since the retest is how you know it worked.
Hardware store kits are fine as a first look for an owner who simply wants a rough idea. For a sale, a lender or a decision to spend money, a professional test is the better choice because the placement is controlled and the result is documented. Our guide to kits versus professional testing goes through the trade-offs.
If your project in Loudon involves a permit, check with the city or Loudon County, whichever covers your address. We can say what the radon work needs, but we do not decide local requirements.
