Free Radon Test Kits

How it works

LaSalle County Health Department, through a grant from the Illinois Emergency Management Agency (IEMA), has free radon test kits available to residents of LaSalle County. The page describes this as a free service for homeowners and residents, not a rebate or reimbursement program.

What the service covers

The page says the kits are for testing radon in the home. It also explains why testing matters: radon is a radioactive gas that can enter buildings through small spaces in the foundation, is invisible and odorless, and can increase lung cancer risk.

Amounts and matching

No dollar amount is stated on the page. The benefit is the test kit itself at no cost.

How to apply

The page does not describe a formal application. It says test kits can be picked up during regular business hours Monday through Friday, 8 am to 4:30 pm, at 717 E Etna Road in Ottawa. It also says residents can call the LaSalle County Health Department at 815-433-3366 for more information.

Timing and deadlines

The page does not list a closing date, deadline, or supply limit. It does say the kits are available during regular business hours.
