Radon Risks in Highland Park / Oak Park Homes
High radon is the norm in Central Iowa, not the exception. Here is what that means in Highland Park / Oak Park.
-
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 Highland Park / Oak Park 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 Highland Park / Oak Park
Helping First-Time Buyers
Many homes here sell to first-time buyers, and radon often comes up during the inspection. We test inside the contingency window and explain the result in plain terms, so you can negotiate with real numbers.
If the result is high, a standard sub-slab system with sump and crack sealing usually brings it down. We can often install before closing and run the post-mitigation test the lender or buyer wants to see.
Common Issues in Mid-Century Homes
Open sump pits. Many basements have open or loosely covered sump pits tied to drain tile. We install airtight, gasketed lids.
Unsealed floor cracks. Mid-century slabs often have cracks and a gap at the floor-wall joint. We seal them as part of every install.
Simple layouts. Many homes here have a single basement slab, which often means one suction point does the job.
