Radon Mitigation in Jacobus Borough
Jacobus is a small borough south of York, between the city and the Loganville side. The streets are local. The basements are still Zone 1 basements.
Houses in Jacobus Borough
Borough houses are a mix of older frame homes and later brick ranches on modest lots. Basements are common and often partly finished. There is a small-town lot size: room for an exterior fan, not room to ignore the neighbor’s windows. A few houses on the edge feel like York Township and are still inside the borough. We go by the municipality, then by the foundation we can see.
Jacobus is southern valley ground, limestone and shale, EPA Zone 1 with the rest of York County. A small borough does not get a lower designation. The entry points are ordinary: sump, crack, open drain, a block wall that was never capped. Winter tests with the house closed are the ones that match how people live there from November to March.
What the visit is usually about
Partly finished basements mean we need a suction point without destroying the only finished room. Sub-slab depressurization explains that. Real-estate testing is common in a borough this size when a house is listed. Loganville is the next borough south.
Jacobus Borough handles borough permits. York Township is the larger neighbor and not a substitute office. EPA zone map is the map. EPA radon guidance is the discharge rule. A fan on a gable end is often the clean route in this borough because the side yards are usable.

Frequently Asked Questions
Questions we hear on York County jobs.
Is Jacobus close enough to treat as York Township?
It is close, and it is still its own borough. Use this page for Jacobus streets. Use the York Township page for Leaders Heights and the trail corridor. The drive from the city is short either way.
