Know the risk

## Radon Risks in Easter Lake Homes

High radon is the norm in Central Iowa, not the exception. Here is what that means in Easter Lake.

-   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.

How it works

## How We Lower Radon in Easter Lake Homes

Most homes are finished in one day. We test every system before we call it done.

1.  1
    
    ### Test
    
    A 48-hour continuous radon monitor test in your home, or send us an existing result.

2.  2
    
    ### Design
    
    We review your foundation, slab sections and sump, then pick suction points and routing.

    ### Install

Reviews

## Reviews From Easter Lake 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."

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."

Local knowledge

## Radon in Easter Lake

RADON HERE

### Testing and Activating Passive Systems

A passive radon pipe is a head start, not a guarantee. It relies on natural draft, which often isn't strong enough to get an Iowa home below 4.0 pCi/L.

We test with a 48-hour continuous radon monitor after move-in. If the level is high, we activate the pipe by adding a fan in the attic, a junction box and a U-tube manometer, then retest. Most activations take one short visit.

LOCAL HOMES

### New Construction in the Easter Lake Area

**Builder passive pipe.** Many homes have a vent stack from under the slab to the roof. Homes built since July 1, 2026 must have one under Iowa HF 2297.

**Townhomes.** Attached units may share foundations. We check how suction behaves across shared slabs before activating.

**Finished lower levels.** Many owners finish basements soon after buying. Testing and activating first keeps the work simple.
