## Radon Mitigation for Ames Rentals and Homes

The local problem

### Student rental houses in Ames that turn over every August

**What you notice:** A rental near campus gets new tenants every year, and the owner has never seen a radon number for it.

**Why it happens here:** Iowa State students make up about half of the city's population, so many older houses near Campustown are rentals with constant turnover and no one tracking the basement.

**How we fix it:** We run radon testing during the summer gap and install systems with tamper-resistant manometers. Larger apartment buildings are handled by our commercial radon team.

### Every Iowa county is EPA Zone 1

About 71% of Iowa homes test above the EPA action level of 4.0 pCi/L. Your neighbor's number tells you little about yours, so a 48-hour test is the only way to know.

### Winter makes it worse

When the furnace runs and the ground freezes, warm air rises out of the house and pulls soil gas in through the slab, sump and cracks.

### High results stall closings

A failed radon test during inspection can hold up a sale. We test inside your contingency window and can install and verify a system before closing.

Local homes

### Rentals and Family Homes

With **Iowa State University** students making up about half the population, Ames has a large stock of rentals. Landlords need durable systems with tamper-resistant manometers and retests on a schedule, ideally during the summer gap between leases.

Family homes across Ames usually need a standard sub-slab system after a high test.

### Do you handle apartment buildings near Iowa State?

expand\_more

Yes. Our commercial radon team tests and mitigates multi-unit buildings, while single-family rentals get a standard residential system.

### Do you serve family homes in north and west Ames?

expand\_more

Yes. We reach north, south and west Ames on US Route 30 and US Route 69 and group visits on scheduled days.
