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.

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."
★★★★★
"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."
Local knowledge
Radon in Easter Lake
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.
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.
