Radon in Tullahoma, Tennessee

Is radon a problem in Tullahoma, TN?

It can be. Tullahoma is in Coffee County, which EPA places in Zone 2, where the predicted average indoor screening level is 2 to 4 pCi/L. Homes above EPA's 4 pCi/L action level are found in every zone, so a test is the only way to know your home's level.

Do new homes in Tullahoma have to be built radon-resistant?

No. Tullahoma enforces the 2018 code without the radon appendix. Either way, ask your builder which radon features were installed and test after you move in: radon-resistant construction lowers the chance of high radon but doesn't replace a test.
