Common questions
What is radon, and why is it a problem here?
Radon is an invisible, odorless radioactive gas that seeps into homes from the soil. It's the leading cause of lung cancer in non-smokers. Iowa's glacial soils produce some of the highest indoor radon levels in the country, and Dallas County sits in the EPA's highest-risk zone.
My home is new - do I still need to test?
Yes. New construction in Waukee routinely tests above the action level, even homes with passive radon rough-ins. The only way to know is a test.
What does mitigation cost?
Most Waukee-area homes with a standard basement run $800-$2,000 installed, with the majority in the $1,000-$1,500 range. You'll get a firm number before any work starts.
