Campbell County, Kentucky
Radon Mitigation in Alexandria, Kentucky
Alexandria is the Campbell County seat and one of the fastest-growing suburbs in Northern Kentucky, anchoring the county's southern half. Campbell County is EPA Radon Zone 2 (predicted 2–4 pCi/L), but Zone 2 does not mean safe — Northern Kentucky test results frequently exceed the 4.0 pCi/L action level, so every home should be tested.
We're not a contractor. Ohio Valley Radon Mitigation is a referral service that matches you with a certified radon professional who works in Alexandria, then steps out of the way. That contractor gives you the quote and does the work.
Zone 2 & Kentucky registration
What Zone 2 really means in Campbell County
Radon rises out of the soil and bedrock and settles into the lowest lived-in level of a home. Campbell County sits in EPA Radon Zone 2 (predicted 2–4 pCi/L), but Zone 2 is not a clean bill of health — the fractured limestone and glacial deposits under southern Northern Kentucky release the gas steadily, and results here frequently land at or above 4.0 pCi/L.
Kentucky handles contractor credentials differently than Ohio. Rather than a mandatory state license, radon professionals in the Commonwealth register with the Kentucky Board of Radon Safety (KBRS) and should hold national NRPP certification — the standard that proves a pro has been trained and tested on proper mitigation.
That's why we match Alexandria homeowners with KBRS-registered, NRPP-certified contractors. You can confirm a professional's standing through kbrs.ky.gov before any work begins.
At or above 4.0 pCi/L, the EPA recommends fixing your home. Testing is the only way to learn your number. See the local radon data.
Alexandria housing
New subdivisions on full basements
Alexandria has expanded steadily as families move south from the river cities, and much of that growth has arrived as newer single-family subdivisions built on full basements. Those foundations give radon a wide surface to enter through, right where the soil meets the slab.
A common assumption is that a newer home is a safer home. For radon it isn't. A tighter, well-sealed house can actually trap the gas that seeps in through the slab, the sump pit, and the cold-joint cracks where the floor meets the foundation wall.
A full basement is often a finished, lived-in level sitting directly on top of the soil — the exact spot where radon concentrates. Campbell County is EPA Zone 2, but Zone 2 does not mean safe, and Northern Kentucky results frequently exceed 4.0 pCi/L. Build year doesn't change that, which is why a test belongs on every Alexandria owner's list.
Buying or selling
Radon testing is now standard in Alexandria sales
Alexandria's active real-estate market keeps homes changing hands, and a radon test now shows up in most of those transactions. Buyers and their inspectors routinely request one, so the question surfaces on its own during the contract period.
When a test comes back above 4.0 pCi/L during an inspection window, the clock starts. We move quickly on those deadlines and match you with a KBRS-registered contractor who can quote and schedule inside the window.
Sellers benefit too. A documented system and a passing post-mitigation test clears a common negotiating snag before it stalls your closing. See the real-estate radon page.

Alexandria questions
Radon questions from Alexandria homeowners
Kentucky does not mandate a state license the way Ohio does. Instead, radon professionals register with the Kentucky Board of Radon Safety (KBRS) and should carry national NRPP certification. That's the credential we match you with, and you can verify it at kbrs.ky.gov.
Yes. Build year doesn't protect a home in Campbell County, which sits in EPA Zone 2 — and Zone 2 does not mean safe, since Northern Kentucky results frequently exceed the 4.0 pCi/L action level. A newer, tighter house on a full basement can trap radon just as easily as an older one. A test is the only way to know your number.
