Because radon is invisible, professional testing is the only reliable way to know your home’s radon levels.
Milledge Construction follows a thorough and reliable process designed for accuracy and simplicity:
We carefully place radon monitors in strategic locations throughout your home, following EPA standards and industry best practices.
You’ll receive a detailed, easy-to-understand report explaining your radon levels and what they mean for your family’s health.
Our testing equipment stays in place long enough to capture reliable data — whether short-term or long-term testing is needed based on your situation.
If your home has elevated levels, we’ll walk you through your mitigation options and help you decide what’s best for your home and budget.
We test homes of all sizes and styles — from ranch homes in Iowa City and Cedar Falls to family homes in Council Bluffs, Dubuque, and beyond.
Even if your home tested below action levels in the past, changes in weather, foundation settlement, or remodeling can affect radon levels over time.
Choosing the right team for radon testing matters. Our focus is not just on testing — it’s on helping you take action if needed.
