LOCAL EXPERTISE

Understanding Radon in Jim Thorpe, Pennsylvania

Why the Switzerland of America is EPA Zone 1

Jim Thorpe, nestled in the scenic Lehigh River Gorge, is a historic Victorian town in Carbon County known as the "Switzerland of America." Situated at the gateway to the Pocono Mountains at approximately 600 feet elevation, the town's unique geological setting creates specific conditions that contribute to elevated radon risk in local homes. Professional is essential for all homes in the area.

The town sits directly on the Pottsville Formation, a Pennsylvanian-age sandstone and conglomerate unit that forms the bedrock throughout much of Carbon County. This formation, laid down approximately 320 million years ago, contains trace amounts of uranium and radium that decay into radon gas. The area's mountainous topography and steep valley walls create natural pathways for radon to migrate upward through bedrock fractures and soil layers.

Jim Thorpe's location in the Lehigh Gorge adds another layer of geological complexity. The Lehigh River has carved through resistant sandstone and coal-bearing strata for millions of years, exposing uranium-bearing rock formations and creating fractured bedrock conditions. Historic coal mining operations in nearby Summit Hill, Lansford, and Nesquehoning further compromised the underground structure, creating voids and migration pathways that can channel radon gas toward the surface.

The town's Victorian-era architecture presents unique challenges for radon mitigation. Many homes built in the late 1800s feature stone foundations, deep basements carved into hillsides, and older construction methods that can create multiple entry points for radon gas. The combination of historic building techniques, mountainous terrain, uranium-bearing bedrock, and proximity to former mining operations means Jim Thorpe consistently shows elevated radon levels requiring professional attention.

Carbon County sits firmly in EPA Zone 1, the highest-risk category for radon. Professional testing in Jim Thorpe consistently reveals significantly elevated risk levels, with approximately one in three homes testing above EPA action levels.
