Tea has grown quickly as a Sioux Falls suburb, with many newer homes on full basements. It's in Lincoln County, part of the EPA's Zone 1 area of eastern South Dakota, where high radon readings are common.
Radon has no smell or color, and it doesn't cause symptoms you'd notice day to day. The EPA lists it as the leading cause of lung cancer among people who have never smoked, which is why testing matters even in a new home.
Getting radon handled in Tea
- Start with a test. A short-term test takes a few days. South Dakota offers a limited number of free test kits each year.
- If it's 4.0 or higher, the EPA recommends fixing it. Most homes are fixed with one system installed in a day.
- Retest after. A good contractor will test after installation to confirm the system works.
