About this site

I'm Dan. I practice workers' compensation law in Minneapolis, which is another way of saying I spend my days with the health consequences of things nobody could see coming. Radon is the quietest one there is: an invisible, odorless gas that is the second leading cause of lung cancer, and Minnesota has some of the highest indoor radon levels in the country. About two in five homes tested here come back at or above the level where the state says fix it.

MN Radon Buddy puts the state's own numbers where a homeowner can actually use them: your county's test statistics from Minnesota Department of Health data, a plain should-I-test checkup that ends in a verdict instead of a pamphlet, and the full MDH list of licensed radon measurement and mitigation professionals, because since 2019 Minnesota licenses both and you should verify a license before you pay anyone.

Two commitments. First, lookups here are anonymous: the county checkup and the should-I-test tool never store your address or your answers, period. Second, the numbers come from named public sources, cited on the page with the date we last checked them. When our copy and MDH's page disagree, MDH's page controls, and we say so.

This site is an independent educational resource. It is not a government agency, not a health authority, and not a law firm, and nothing on it is medical or legal advice about your situation. If you ask for mitigation quotes, your request may be sent to licensed Minnesota radon mitigation professionals; participating professionals may pay to receive inquiries, and that never changes what the data shows you. Details in the privacy policy.

MN Radon Buddy is part of a small family of free Minnesota tools: Comp Buddy for work injuries, Hail Buddy for storm damage, Rebate Buddy for energy rebates, Property Tax Buddy for assessments, and Wage Buddy for paychecks. Same builder, same rules: public data, cited sources, nothing about you stored.
