Radon Testing

Iowa has some of the highest radon levels in the nation. Test your home — it could save your life.

The Silent Danger

Why Radon Testing Matters

Radon is a naturally occurring radioactive gas that forms from the decay of uranium in soil and rock. It seeps into homes through cracks in foundations, floors, and walls — and you can't see it, smell it, or taste it.

Iowa consistently ranks among the states with the highest radon concentrations. The EPA recommends taking action when radon levels reach 4 pCi/L or higher. Testing is the only way to know if your home has a problem.

If elevated levels are found, radon mitigation systems are highly effective and relatively affordable. The first step is knowing — and we make that easy.
