Radon is a naturally occurring radioactive gas that can enter your home through cracks in the foundation, sump pits, and other gaps. Once inside, it can build up to dangerous levels, especially in Iowa, which consistently ranks among the highest radon states in the country.
Testing is the only way to know if you’re at risk.
We use state-of-the-art radon detection equipment to measure radon levels accurately. Whether you need a real estate transaction test, annual check, or initial screening, we’ll give you clear, reliable results, and actionable guidance for next steps if mitigation is needed.
If your test shows elevated radon levels, don’t panic. We offer effective, proven mitigation systems tailored to the unique needs of your home or commercial building.
Our trained technicians will assess your property and install a system that safely vents radon from below your foundation to outside, keeping indoor air healthy and compliant.
Every system includes:
Whether your home is a 100-year-old bungalow or a newly built ranch, we design our systems to be both effective and discreet.
Radon is a colorless, odorless, and tasteless radioactive gas that occurs naturally as a decay product of uranium in soil, rocks, and water. Radon can enter buildings (such as homes, hotels, schools, apartments, etc.) through the ground and can accumulate to potentially harmful levels, posing health risks to occupants upon prolonged exposure.
Given its radioactive nature, radon is a known carcinogen, and long-term inhalation of elevated levels has been associated with an increased risk of lung cancer. Radon testing and mitigation measures are crucial for identifying and addressing elevated radon levels in indoor environments, promoting healthier living and working conditions.
Radon doesn’t care how old your home is or where you live. It can seep in through any of the following:
Small or large cracks in the foundation of your home provide direct entry points for radon to seep in.
Points where different materials meet, such as floor-wall joints or wall-wall joints, can create openings for radon to enter.
Spaces around pipes and other penetrations in the foundation or walls can serve as entry points for radon gas.
Homes equipped with sump pump basins, designed to prevent flooding, may be vulnerable to radon entry through gaps in or around the sump pump.
Once inside the home, radon can be further distributed by ventilation systems, including heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) systems.
Radon can move through spaces within walls, especially if these spaces connect to the soil.
