• Step 3 — Monitor Placement. A licensed Radon Eliminator technician places a calibrated CRM in the lowest livable level of your Fort Shawnee home, away from drafts, exterior walls, and HVAC supply registers, per EPA protocol.
• Step 4 — 48-Hour Sampling. The monitor logs hourly radon readings, temperature, humidity, and barometric pressure — a defensible chain-of-data record.

Fort Shawnee sits on the glacial till and limestone bedrock that defines much of west-central Ohio's geology — and that bedrock is precisely what generates radon. Uranium decay in the soil and rock produces radon gas, which migrates up through foundation cracks, sump pits, crawl space vents, and slab penetrations. Homes along Fort Amanda Road, near Shawnee High School, and throughout the older neighborhoods around the village center tend to have basement or partial-basement construction — the foundation type with the highest radon entry risk.

According to Ohio Department of Health radon data, Allen County reports an average indoor radon screening level that exceeds the EPA action threshold.
