Radon Testing in Poolesville, Maryland

Radon testing in Poolesville and the Agricultural Reserve

Poolesville, incorporated since 1867, sits at the heart of Montgomery County's roughly 93,000-acre Agricultural Reserve — the largest concentration of preserved farmland of its kind in the country. Housing ranges from 1970s split-levels to newer Colonial Revival construction, generally on large lots with attached garages and, in many cases, private wells and septic systems rather than county water and sewer, consistent with the area's lower-density, rural character.

One detail specific to Poolesville: Montgomery County's Department of Environmental Protection confirms that the Town of Poolesville — along with the Town of Kensington and the Town of Barnesville — is exempted from the county's mandatory pre-sale radon testing law that applies to most other single-family homes and townhomes in the county. That's a legal exemption, not a statement about radon risk; the Agricultural Reserve's geology is no different than the rest of the county's, which is exactly why testing on request still matters here.
