Why radon comes first in Strongsville
Strongsville, a Cuyahoga County suburb of about 46,491 people (2020 Census), was founded in 1818 as a township in the Connecticut Western Reserve and named for John Stoughton Strong. Most of its housing came much later: the median year built among the Strongsville homes we’ve inspected (NOPI’s inspection records) is 1983, and only 10% were built before 1960. Citywide, the Census counts 19,645 housing units in Strongsville, with a median year built of 1980; 3% were built before 1940 and 13% before 1960 (Census ACS 2020–2024 5-year estimates, tables B25034 and B25035).
What stands out in our records is radon. 31% of our Strongsville clients add a radon test to their inspection. Basements and slab homes can draw radon from the soil, and the only way to know a home’s level is to test it.
Homes like these have predictable weak spots, and we check every one of them:
- Radon: 31% of our Strongsville clients add a radon test. Elevated indoor radon is the leading cause of lung cancer among non-smokers, and Ohio homes should be tested; if a home already has a mitigation system, we check that the fan runs and the gauge reads properly.
- Basements: poured and block walls, cracks, past water entry and sump systems.
- 1970s-90s systems: original or aging furnaces, central air, water heaters and roofs.
- Plumbing and wiring by era: polybutylene supply piping in some 1980s-90s homes; occasional aluminum branch wiring in late-1960s to 1970s homes.
- Pools and decks: indoor and outdoor pool areas, deck attachment and railing safety.
- Termites: 17% of our Strongsville clients add a termite (WDI) inspection.
These are general considerations for homes of this era, not a summary of inspection findings.
