Radon Mitigation Problems in Adel Homes

Block and stone basements in the blocks around the Adel courthouse.

  • 01

    Block and stone near the square

    Adel dates to 1847 and stayed small for more than a century, so the streets near the 1902 courthouse are lined with older homes on block or stone foundations.

  • 02

    Gas comes through the walls

    Hollow block cores and mortar joints carry soil gas up through the walls, not just the floor, so sealing the slab alone does not fix it.

  • 03

    Our fix in Adel

    We combine sub-slab suction with wall and sump sealing, sometimes with a second suction point, and verify with a post-mitigation test.

LOCAL HOMES

Older Core, Newer Edges

Adel stayed small for most of its history, so homes near the courthouse square are often older houses with block or stone foundations and open sumps. These need wall and sump sealing along with a sub-slab system.

The population nearly doubled between 2010 and 2020, so the edges of town are newer. Those homes may have passive pipe that should be tested after move-in.
