The county's college town — village homes, lakeside cottages, and one of the area's biggest rental markets. 48-hour certified tests, one-day mitigation, and multi-unit scheduling for landlords and property managers.
Edinboro's housing splits three ways: the borough's older village homes, the cottages ringing Edinboro Lake, and a rental stock — houses, duplexes, and small multi-unit buildings — that serves the university community. Every one of them sits on the same southern-county ground that has put more than a quarter of tested Erie County homes at or above the EPA action level, but the rental stock raises a question the others don't: whose job is it to know the number?
For landlords, the practical answer is: yours, and it's cheap to answer. Pennsylvania doesn't mandate testing rental units, but tenants and their parents increasingly ask, and a $150–$250 test per building is inexpensive due diligence that turns into a leasing asset — "tested, with results available" reads well in any listing, and a mitigated, verified building closes the conversation entirely. We schedule multiple units or properties in one pass for landlords and property managers, which brings the per-unit logistics down to almost nothing.
The lake cottages carry their own wrinkle: many started life as seasonal places and were winterized into year-round homes — which often means crawl spaces or partial foundations rather than full basements. That doesn't complicate the fix; it just changes it. Sub-membrane depressurization — a sealed heavy liner over the exposed soil with the fan drawing from beneath it — is the standard approach, installed in a day like any other system and verified with a follow-up test.
A continuous radon monitor in the lowest lived-in level, with a certified same-day report — accepted for Edinboro real estate transactions, and available in multi-unit batches for rental properties.
Sub-slab systems for basements, sub-membrane systems for cottage crawl spaces — installed in one visit and verified with a follow-up test so you see the new number.
Homes here move to a mix of buyers — families, university staff, and investors picking up rental properties — and buyer-ordered radon tests are a routine inspection item for all of them. A 48-hour monitored test fits inside a standard contingency window with the certified report delivered the day it ends, and a high result resolves with a one-day mitigation install, typically $1,000–$1,500, before settlement. Investors: a documented radon result belongs in your due-diligence folder next to the inspection report — it's one line item that's cheap to answer now and awkward to discover later. Pricing details are on the cost page; common questions are answered in the FAQ.
