Radon Mitigation for Clive Homes

Radon mitigation involves reducing radon gas concentrations inside homes, primarily through sub-slab depressurization (SSD). This method prevents radon entry by creating negative pressure under the foundation. The system typically includes a suction pit for radon collection, a network of pipes, and a fan to expel the gas outside.

Explanation on how a Radon Mitigation System Installed on Residential Home Exterior works
How does mitigation work?

Expert Radon Mitigation Installation Techniques

Mitigation can be divided into three parts:

Suction Pit

A suction pit is created by removing about three five-gallon buckets of soil from beneath the slab, providing an access point for the system to draw out radon gas.

PVC Piping

A PVC pipe is inserted into the suction pit and extends upwards, connecting to the exterior of the home, often through the attic or an exterior wall.

Radon Fan

A specially designed radon fan is connected to the vent pipe, typically in the attic, garage, or outside the house. The fan continuously pulls radon gas from beneath the foundation and vents it outside.

Frequently Asked Questions about Radon Mitigation

Here are answers to the most common questions we receive in Clive. If you need more information, feel free to reach out!

Not necessarily. Radon levels are determined by the soil beneath a home and the building’s construction, not its age. New homes can be just as susceptible to elevated radon as older ones, and in some cases, energy-efficient construction that reduces air infiltration can actually cause radon to accumulate at higher levels. Every home — new or old — should be tested for radon to ensure the safety of its occupants.

Absolutely. Radon can accumulate in any structure built on soil, including offices, schools, retail spaces, and warehouses. Employees and visitors in commercial buildings with elevated radon levels are at risk of long-term exposure, especially those who spend many hours per day in the building. Commercial radon testing and mitigation are just as important as residential solutions. Adios Radon proudly serves commercial clients across the entire Midwest.

Yes, radon can also enter a home through well water, particularly in areas with high uranium concentrations in the underlying rock. When water containing radon is used for showering, cooking, or washing dishes, the gas is released into the indoor air. Waterborne radon contributes to overall indoor radon levels and can be an additional source of exposure. If your home uses well water and has elevated radon levels, water testing may also be recommended.

Yes, radon levels can vary significantly from one home to the next, even within the same neighborhood or on the same street. Soil composition, geological conditions, and how a home is constructed all play a major role in how much radon accumulates indoors. Certain areas in Iowa, like Vinton, consistently come back with very high radon results. This is why every home should be individually tested rather than assuming levels based on a neighbor’s results.

While radon levels are typically highest in basements because they are closest to the soil, radon can be present on any floor of a home. In homes without basements, ground-floor levels may still have elevated radon concentrations. Even upper floors can have detectable radon levels in some cases, depending on how air circulates through the structure. Testing throughout the home provides the most accurate picture of your overall radon exposure.

Radon is present year round, though levels can fluctuate based on season, weather, and how a home is ventilated. During winter months, homes are typically sealed tighter to conserve heat, which can lead to higher radon concentrations indoors. Summer months with open windows and increased airflow may show lower levels, though this is not a reliable solution. Testing during multiple seasons can provide a more comprehensive understanding of your home’s radon exposure.
