Exploring Radon Mitigation in Davenport

Radon mitigation involves reducing the concentration of radon gas within homes, primarily achieved through sub-slab depressurization (SSD). This process creates a negative pressure zone under the foundation to prevent radon gas from entering. A standard mitigation system includes a suction pit for gas collection, connected piping, and a fan to expel the radon 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.

Precision Radon Mitigation: Our Proven Approach

Our process for Radon Mitigation

1

Initial
Assessment

Our state certified mitigation installers analyze your home to evaluate options for where the mitigation system can be installed.

2

System
Design

We customize a plan based on the home’s structure and layout, and owner preferences to ensure maximum effectiveness and minimal cosmetic impact to your home.

3

BEGIN
Installation

Our trained technicians execute the installation with precision and care, utilizingbest practices every time.

4

Testing and
Verification

After the system is installed and functioning for 24 hours, we test the property again to ensure radon levels are adequately reduced. If for any reason radon levels aren’t low enough, we will implement additional measures (more slab penetrations, upsized radon fan, multiple systems, etc) as required to yield the results we’re looking for.

5

Follow-up
Service

We offer post-installation support to ensure the system operates optimally over time.

6

Customer
Education

We empower homeowners with knowledge on system maintenance and the importance of routine radon testing every two years.

Your Radon Mitigation Questions Answered

Frequently Asked Questions about Radon Mitigation

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

Radon is a naturally occurring, radioactive gas that forms from the breakdown of uranium in soil, rock, and water. It is colorless, odorless, and tasteless, making it completely undetectable without proper testing equipment. As uranium decays, it releases radon gas, which can seep into buildings through cracks in foundations, floors, and walls. Because you cannot see, smell, or taste it, many homeowners are unaware of elevated radon levels in their homes.

Radon gas seeps into homes through the path of least resistance – cracks in foundation floors and walls, construction joints, gaps around service pipes, and even through well water. The difference in air pressure between the inside of a home and the surrounding soil causes the home to act like a vacuum, drawing radon gas inward. Virtually any home, regardless of age or construction type, can have elevated radon levels. Even well-sealed or newer homes are not immune to radon infiltration.

Iowa is classified as an EPA Zone 1 state, meaning predicted average indoor radon levels are above 4 pCi/L – the EPA’s action threshold. The statewide average indoor radon level in Iowa is 8.5 pCi/L, more than six times the national average of 1.3 pCi/L. This makes Iowa one of the highest-risk states in the country for radon exposure. Homeowners across the state should prioritize radon testing.

Radon is the second leading cause of lung cancer in the United States, responsible for approximately 21,000 deaths each year according to the EPA. When radon gas is inhaled, it can decay into radioactive particles that become trapped in the lungs, damaging tissue over time. Long-term exposure to elevated radon levels significantly increases your risk of developing lung cancer, particularly for smokers. Because the health effects develop gradually over years, many people don’t realize the danger until serious damage has already occurred.

The EPA recommends taking action to reduce radon levels if your home tests at 4 picocuries per liter (pCi/L) or higher. Levels between 2–4 pCi/L are considered elevated, and mitigation is still recommended at this range. The national average indoor radon level is 1.3 pCi/L, while Iowa’s average is 8.5 pCi/L – significantly higher than the national benchmark. No level of radon is considered completely “safe,” which is why testing and awareness are so important for every household.

All homes have some level of radon – the question is how much. Because radon comes from the natural breakdown of uranium in the soil beneath virtually every home, no property is completely exempt from potential exposure. The amount of radon that accumulates in a home depends on factors like soil composition, building materials, foundation type, and ventilation. The only way to know if your home has dangerous radon levels is to test it.
