Radon Risks in Drake Homes
High radon is the norm in Central Iowa, not the exception. Here is what that means in Drake.
-
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 Drake 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."

Built for Rentals and Turnover
Rentals near Drake University change tenants often. A system that's easy to switch off, a sump lid that gets left open or a manometer nobody checks can all undo the fix.
We install durable systems with tamper-resistant manometers, label every component, and give landlords a simple retest schedule. Testing between tenants is easy to set up with our 24-hour booking line.
Homes and Rentals Near Drake
Older single-family and duplexes. Early 1900s basements often have cracked slabs, old block or brick walls and open sumps.
Student apartments. Ground-floor units in larger buildings may fall under multifamily testing standards.
Durable design. Exterior or garage-mounted fans, sealed and secured sump lids, and visible manometers make systems easy to verify.
