Glen Ellyn's older homes near downtown and Lake Ellyn can have fieldstone or block foundations with more cracks and openings than poured walls. That doesn't make them unfixable — it usually means more sealing and sometimes a second suction point. Expect the contractor to run a quick diagnostic before quoting.

What IEMA's radon test records show for Glen Ellyn

IEMA publishes radon results reported by licensed measurement professionals. For test addresses in Glen Ellyn, we counted 4,766 valid tests on homes without a mitigation system; 43% were at or above EPA's 4.0 pCi/L action level and 16% were at or above 8.0 pCi/L.

For comparison, 42% of tests were at or above 4.0 pCi/L across the 26 DuPage-area and nearby cities we pulled from the same data, so Glen Ellyn is close to that average. These are mostly real-estate and homeowner-ordered tests, not a random sample, so they can't predict your house — neighbors on the same block can test very differently. The only way to know is to test your own home.

Housing in Glen Ellyn and what it means for radon

About 28,846 people lived in Glen Ellyn in the 2020 Census. The median home there was built around 1971, and the biggest share of its housing went up before 1970 (47% before 1970, 31% from 1970–1989, 18% from 1990–2009, 4% since 2010). Roughly 63% of homes are detached single-family houses and 8% are townhouses or other attached single-family homes; about 78% of households own their home.

With 47% of homes built before 1970, many Glen Ellyn basements have older block walls, floor drains or additions on slab or crawlspace. Those openings can affect where a mitigator puts the suction point and whether a crawlspace needs its own membrane, so ask each contractor how they'll treat every foundation type in the house.

Next steps in Glen Ellyn

  1. If you haven't, run a short-term test in the lowest lived-in level (EPA guidance). For a home sale, use a licensed measurement professional.
  2. If you're at or above 4 pCi/L, get a quote from an IEMA-licensed mitigator — Illinois requires the license for paid mitigation work.
  3. After installation, retest to confirm the level dropped.
