Radon Mitigation Problems in Pleasantville Homes
The local problem
Older Pleasantville homes on half basement, half crawlspace
What you notice: The basement side has been sealed, but radon keeps coming up from a dirt crawlspace under the back of the house.
Why it happens here: Pleasantville was laid out in 1849 and its population has held near 1,700, so much of the housing is older, often expanded with crawlspace additions.
How we fix it: We seal the crawlspace with a membrane and connect it to the basement suction point on one fan as part of residential radon mitigation.
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
Older and Rural Homes
Pleasantville is an 1849 town with a steady population, so many homes are older houses on block or stone foundations. Additions often sit over crawlspaces.
Rural homes west of Lake Red Rock may mix basements and crawlspaces and use private wells. We design sealing and suction to fit each foundation and test water when needed.
