Every commercial space — from office buildings and schools to churches and apartment complexes — should be a place where people feel safe and healthy.
But radon, a naturally occurring radioactive gas, can silently accumulate in structures built on Iowa’s soil, posing a serious long-term health risk if left unaddressed.
At Milledge Construction, we provide professional commercial radon mitigation services across Iowa.
With years of experience, certified specialists, and customized solutions, we help business owners, facility managers, and community leaders significantly reduce radon levels and protect occupants.

Iowa ranks among the highest states in the nation for average indoor radon levels, thanks to its soil composition and geological conditions.
Radon can enter a building through cracks, utility gaps, crawl spaces, and other access points — and once inside, it can linger and build up over time. Because radon cannot be detected by sight or smell, commercial properties need professional evaluation and mitigation to ensure indoor air safety.
For businesses and organizations, elevated radon levels aren’t just a concern for health — they can also affect compliance, reputation, and long-term operational success.
Regardless if you manage a daycare center in Cedar Rapids, a church in Council Bluffs, an office park in Des Moines, or a manufacturing facility in Dubuque, proper mitigation keeps your space healthy and your stakeholders confident.
Radon gas comes from the breakdown of uranium in the soil, then naturally moves upward. Commercial properties with basement levels, underground utilities, or large slab foundations are especially vulnerable. Common entry points include:
Because radon can spread under and throughout a building, mitigation solutions must be tailored to the structure’s design, usage patterns, and airflow characteristics.
At Milledge Construction, we don’t offer one-size-fits-all fixes — we deliver custom mitigation systems engineered for the specific needs of your commercial property. These systems are designed to control radon levels efficiently while minimizing disruption to daily operations.
This is one of the most effective methods for commercial buildings. A specialized system draws radon from beneath the slab and vents it safely outdoors, keeping indoor air free from harmful gases.
For buildings with crawl spaces, we install vapor barriers and pressure management systems that prevent radon from entering and accumulating.
Improving airflow and pressure balance throughout a building can help reduce radon concentrations while also boosting overall indoor air quality.
We locate and seal common entry points like expansion joints and utility gaps to reduce radon infiltration.
Every mitigation design we install complies with EPA best practices and local building codes. Once installed, we test the system to ensure that radon levels are safely reduced and provide follow-up documentation for your records.
