Radon Mitigation in West Manheim Township
West Manheim Township is southwest of Hanover, toward the Maryland line. It is township ground: farms, newer houses, and basements that still sit in a Zone 1 county.
Houses in West Manheim Township
Newer homes on larger lots are common, many with full basements and a community or private well nearby. Older farmhouses remain on the back roads. A new house with a builder’s passive pipe and an old farmhouse with a stone cellar are both West Manheim, and they do not share a price. Hanover is where people shop. The house is in the township unless it is inside the borough.
Western York County stays EPA Zone 1 out to this township. The Maryland line is close and irrelevant to the Pennsylvania map color. Shale and the valley’s radon-prone rock are why a new basement can test high the first winter. A passive pipe is a head start only if it is tight and then fitted with a fan when the test says so.
What the visit is usually about
Passive pipes in newer basements are the detail to photograph before the visit. New-construction radon is that job. Testing is the farmhouse job. Penn Township and Hanover are the pages to the northeast.
West Manheim Township is not Hanover Borough and not Penn Township. EPA zone map includes it with York County. EPA radon guidance describes turning a passive rough-in into an active system. Electrical permits follow the township. We do not pull a Hanover borough permit for a township lot.
