York Township stretches south from the city line at Country Club Road through Leader Heights, Queensgate and Springwood toward Jacobus and Dallastown, and the ground changes underneath it. The northern half is York Valley limestone; the southern half climbs onto the schist and phyllite of the Piedmont uplands. Pennsylvania DEP records for the 17403 and 17402 ZIP codes show some of the highest test volumes in the county, and a substantial share of those homes come back above 4.0 pCi/L. We see readings in the 8–20 pCi/L range routinely in the Leader Heights and Springwood neighborhoods.
Because the township has both soil types, we never assume a design from the address. A 1990s colonial on Springwood Road with gravel fill under the slab often needs only a single suction point and a moderate fan; a 1960s rancher on the tighter uplands soil toward Jacobus may need a high-suction fan or two suction points to reach the far corner of the basement. Every radon mitigation install here starts with a communication test, and every one ends with a post-mitigation test and a written result.
