Protecting Iowa’s Students and Staff with Adios Radon

RADON MITIGATION IN SCHOOLS

Why Radon Matters in Iowa Schools

Radon is a naturally occurring, radioactive gas that seeps into buildings from the soil below. It’s odorless, colorless, and tasteless—making it impossible to detect without testing. In Iowa, the stakes are high: the entire state is classified as an EPA Zone 1 area, meaning radon levels are predicted to exceed the action level of 4 pCi/L in most buildings. For schools, this risk is even more critical. Prolonged exposure to elevated radon is the leading cause of lung cancer among nonsmokers, and with students and staff spending hours indoors daily, ensuring low radon levels is a health priority.

Keeping Iowa Schools Safe with Expert Radon Solutions

Iowa passed the Gail Orcutt School Radon Safety Act (House File 2412) in 2022, mandating that all public schools test for radon by July 1, 2027, and every five years thereafter, with mitigation required if levels exceed 4 pCi/L. Adios Radon is here to help schools comply with this law while creating healthier spaces for learning.

Let us handle your radon issues, ensuring a healthier environment for everyone.

FAQ

FAQs on Radon Mitigation in schools

Below are answers to some of the most common questions we hear about radon mitigation in schools.

Iowa law, through the Gail Orcutt School Radon Safety Act (House File 2412), requires all public schools to test for radon by July 1, 2027, and every five years after that. This is because Iowa is an EPA Zone 1 area, where radon levels often exceed the safe threshold of 4 pCi/L. Testing ensures schools identify and address this lung cancer-causing gas to protect students and staff.

We use state-of-the-art, Iowa-approved radon measurement devices to test every attendance center, as required by state law. Our certified professionals place detectors in key areas—like classrooms, offices, and basements—for 48 hours or more, depending on the protocol. Results are analyzed quickly, and we provide a detailed report to guide next steps.

If testing shows levels above 4 pCi/L, Adios Radon designs and installs a custom mitigation system. This typically involves a sub-slab depressurization system with a vent pipe and fan to redirect radon safely outside. We work within Iowa’s two-year mitigation timeline post-testing, ensuring compliance and safety with minimal impact on school operations.

The timeline depends on the school’s size and structure, but most mitigation projects are completed in 1-3 days. We schedule installations during breaks or off-hours to avoid disrupting classes. After installation, we conduct follow-up testing to confirm radon levels are below 4 pCi/L, as mandated by Iowa regulations.

Yes! For new builds, we offer radon-resistant construction techniques (RRNC) as required by Iowa law. This includes installing vapor barriers, vent pipes, and sealing foundations to prevent radon entry from the start. It’s a cost-effective way to avoid future mitigation needs and ensure a safe school from day one.

Adios Radon stands out with our local Iowa expertise, state-credentialed team, and personalized service. Based in Tiffin, we understand Iowa’s geology—like the uranium-rich soils driving high radon levels—and tailor solutions accordingly. Backed by Vigilant Home Inspections, we bring years of experience and a proven track record to every school project.
