Iowa Homeowner Reduces 7.6 Radon Levels with Professional Radon Mitigation

After a radon test revealed levels of 7.6 pCi/L, well above the EPA action level, an Iowa homeowner decided it was time to take proactive steps to protect the home for the future. While there were no immediate concerns, the homeowner understood the importance of reducing long-term radon exposure and improving indoor air quality. A home radon mitigation system was installed by Iowa Radon Defense Northwest to safely lower radon concentrations and prevent radon exposure poisoning  Taking action today can help reduce health risks and provide lasting peace of mind for homeowners and their families.

New Home Radon Mitigation: Creating a Safe Space for Family and Future Generations

After moving into their newly built home about a year ago, a couple discovered high radon levels during routine testing—readings hovered around 13 pCi/L. With plans to finish the lower level soon and grandkids frequently visiting, they knew mitigation was a priority. A custom radon system was installed to address the elevated levels before any additional construction began. By taking action early, they not only protected the health of their family but also set a strong foundation for a safe and comfortable future living space. With the peace of mind that their home’s air quality is now under control, they can move forward with finishing their lower level—and enjoy visits from their grandchildren without worry.

Radon Mitigation for Home Sale With High Radon Levels and Results

Ron and Kathy are preparing to sell their parents’ home, which is currently under contract. Radon became a concern after electronic readings on the main level showed levels in the mid-20s, prompting action before closing. A charcoal test kit has been provided to confirm levels, with results pending at the time of installation. Because of the potential for extremely high radon levels, no guarantee will be offered until verified results are received. The goal is to provide the new homeowners with a safer living environment through professional radon mitigation and proper testing.
