Radon Risks in Downtown Homes
High radon is the norm in Central Iowa, not the exception. Here is what that means in Downtown.
-
01
EPA Zone 1
About 71% of Iowa homes test above 4.0 pCi/L. Your neighbor's number says little about yours. A 48-hour test is the only way to know.
-
02
Worse in Winter
When the furnace runs and the ground freezes, warm air rises out of the house and pulls soil gas in through the slab.
-
03
Delays Closings
A high radon test during inspection can hold up a sale. We test and install inside your inspection window.

Reviews
Reviews From Downtown Homeowners
★★★★★
"Our Beaverdale house tested high during the inspection and the sale was on hold. They got a sub-slab system in quickly, the post-test came back low, and we closed on time."
★★★★★
"Our new build in Waukee came with a passive pipe but still tested above 4. They added the attic fan and manometer in one visit and explained the readings."
★★★★★
"Fan alarm went off on a Sunday night. I called the 24-hour line, got answers right away and a fan replacement booked for Monday."

What Makes Downtown Radon Work Different
Most downtown buildings don't look like a typical house. Ground-contact units sit over large slabs, and some residential floors sit above structured parking. Old warehouse masonry has cracks, joints and utility chases that soil gas can follow. Big air handlers change building pressure from hour to hour.
We start with testing that follows the right standard for the building, then use pressure field extension diagnostics before designing a system. For property managers, we provide reports that work for owners, tenants and lenders, and we schedule around residents and business hours.
Buildings and Foundations Downtown
Converted warehouse lofts. Older masonry buildings near the Principal Riverwalk and East of the river often have thick foundation walls, patched slabs and old utility penetrations. Sealing is a big part of the work.
High-rise condos. Ground-floor and lower-level units carry the most risk. HUD and agency multifamily rules may require testing in a sample of units.
Mixed-use offices. Offices over retail or parking need systems that account for HVAC pressure and garage ventilation.
