Radon Mitigation and Testing in Beaverdale, Des Moines

Our Des Moines office sits right on the edge of Beaverdale, so we're close to every street in the neighborhood. That helps when a buyer's inspection turns up a high radon result and the clock is running on a contingency.

We test with continuous radon monitors timed to the inspection window, quote quickly, and can often install and run the post-mitigation test before closing.

Settling block foundations. Many Beaverdale homes have hollow block walls that have shifted over the decades. Soil gas can move through the block cores and cracks.

Cracked basement slabs. Older slabs often have long cracks and a gap at the floor-wall joint. In winter, the stack effect pulls soil gas right through them.

Our usual fix. A sub-slab depressurization system with thorough crack and joint sealing, a gasketed sump lid and, when needed, a second suction point. Pipe routing is planned to keep the brick exterior looking right.
