Here is what that means in East Village. - 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. Our services ## Radon Services in East Village Radon testing, mitigation, new construction, commercial systems and maintenance in East Village.

They got a sub-slab system in quickly, the post-test came back low, and we closed on time." Megan T. · Des Moines ★★★★★ > "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." Chris L. · Waukee ★★★★★ > "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."

Their brick foundations and old basements let soil gas in through mortar joints, rubble floors and old utility openings. The challenge is fixing that without changing how the building looks. We plan concealed routing through back-of-house rooms, chases and rear walls, and choose quiet fans that won't bother tenants or shoppers. Every design starts with testing and, for larger buildings, pressure field diagnostics. LOCAL HOMES ### Foundations in the East Village **19th and early 20th century brick.** Mortar joints and old rubble floors leak soil gas. Sealing and careful suction placement matter more than in newer buildings. **Mixed-use buildings.** Shops on the ground floor and apartments above mean both commercial and residential concerns. We design for both. **Newer mid-rise apartments.** Newer buildings can still test high. Multifamily testing standards set how many units to test.
