Farmstead wells around Lennox are old enough and common enough that this is a routine question here. Deep agricultural soil over till means the well is often drawing from a considerable depth, and the water has had a long contact time with whatever it passed through.
What we see in Lennox
Properties out along Highway 17 and Highway 44 and on the section roads between them are where this applies. Inside Lennox on municipal water it does not. Older farmhouses frequently have both a partial crawl space and a well, which is two separate pathways feeding the same air reading.
Practical notes for Lennox homeowners
On a farmstead with a crawl space and a well, deal with the crawl space membrane and the sub-slab system first. Two of the three pathways get closed for a fraction of what water treatment costs.
Radon in Well Water in Lennox: the technical part
On a farmstead with a crawl space, a block foundation and a private well, there are three pathways and only one of them is expensive to fix. Sealing the block, membraning the crawl and installing a sub-slab system addresses two of them for well under two thousand dollars. Water treatment addresses the third for several thousand. Order of operations is not a technicality here, it is most of the budget.
What the job looks like in Lennox
Air test first with a continuous monitor so the hourly trace is available. Soil work next. Retest. Water sample only if the number stays high after that, and even then the sample gets read against the rule of thumb rather than treated as automatically actionable. Most Lennox farmsteads never get to step four.
One thing worth knowing about Lennox
Older block foundations leak in more places than a poured wall does, so a Lennox system is usually more sealing and less pipe.
Lennox radon questions
How do I know the water is contributing at all?
The hourly trace. Peaks at the times people shower and run the dishwasher, settling overnight, is the water signature. A flat elevated line is soil.
Do older wells read higher?
Not reliably by age. Depth, casing and the formation the well draws from matter far more than how old it is.
