Fix It. Prove It. **"Radon isn't a scare. It's a measurement, and it has a fix."** Ryan Ruiz founded Radon Mitigation Des Moines on March 6, 2016. The goal was simple: give Des Moines and central Iowa homeowners straightforward radon testing and mitigation, and make it easy to get help. Iowa is an EPA Zone 1 state, and about 71% of Iowa homes test above the EPA action level of 4.0 pCi/L. That makes radon a normal part of owning a home here. We treat it that way. We explain the science plainly, design for the house in front of us, and confirm every install with a post-mitigation test. We also heard the same frustrations again and again. Homeowners couldn't reach anyone after hours. Sales stalled waiting on a radon fix. Getting a quote meant scheduling an in-person estimate. So we built the company around 24-hour support, fast scheduling for real estate deadlines, and quotes from your test result and photos whenever possible. Today we handle residential, new construction and commercial systems, radon testing and maintenance for systems installed by anyone, across Des Moines and 25 nearby cities.
