Radon Mitigation Challenges in Clive Homes
Large remodeled homes where one suction point is not enough.
-
01
1960s homes with additions
Clive quadrupled in the 1960s and doubled again in the 1970s, so many homes are 45 to 60 years old: large custom builds with additions poured against the original slab.
-
02
Where the gas gets in
Each addition adds a cold joint where the new pour meets the old slab, and the bigger footprint means suction from one point cannot reach the far slab section.
-
03
Our fix in Clive
We retest, measure suction under each slab section, add a second suction point or replace the fan, seal the cold joints, and verify with a post-mitigation test.

Reviews
Reviews From Clive Homeowners
★★★★★
"I'm a seller and wanted to know before listing. They placed the monitor Tuesday and I had the report by Thursday afternoon."
★★★★★
"Our house is big and has three slab levels. They measured first, then designed one system that covered everything. The pipe is hidden in a closet."
★★★★★
"Quiet, clean and they explained the manometer. Post-test was way down from where we started."

Radon Systems Designed for Bigger Floor Plans
Serving Clive From Northwest Des Moines
Clive is a quick trip from Des Moines along University Ave, Hickman Rd or I-235. We reach homes near the Clive Greenbelt Trail, the Country Club area and the neighborhoods along Walnut Creek without a long drive.
Larger homes often need a diagnostics visit before the install. We can schedule both close together so you're not waiting weeks between steps.
Large Custom Homes and Split Slabs
Big footprints. Many Clive homes are large custom builds with additions, three-car garages and lower levels that step down with the lot. A bigger footprint means suction has farther to travel under the slab.
Cold joints. Where one slab pour meets another, there's often a cold joint. Soil gas can come through that seam even when the rest of the floor is tight, so we seal it as part of the job.
Concealed routing. Owners here often want the system out of sight. We plan interior routes through mechanical rooms, closets and garages into the attic, and choose quiet fans sized to the measured suction.

FAQ
Radon Questions From Clive Homeowners
Often, yes. We look for routes through mechanical rooms, closets, chases and attached garages into the attic, so only a short exhaust shows above the roofline on homes near the Clive Greenbelt and Country Club area.
Additions, new flooring cuts and aging fans can all reduce suction. Many homes here date to the 1960s and 1970s and have been expanded since. We retest, check the manometer and add a suction point or replace the fan if needed.
A cold joint is the seam where two concrete pours meet, such as an addition against the original slab. Soil gas can enter there even when the rest of the floor is tight, so we seal it during the install.
Fans mounted in an attic or garage are usually hard to hear from living space. We size the pipe and fan to the measured suction so you do not get the air rush that causes most noise complaints.
Yes. We place a 48-hour continuous radon monitor timed to your inspection contingency and send an hourly report that buyers, sellers and lenders accept.
