Radon Mitigation in Beaverdale

Beaverdale radon expertise
Right Next Door to Our Office
Our office on Franklin Ave sits right on the edge of Beaverdale, so we're close to every street in the neighborhood. That helps when a buyer's inspection turns up a high radon result and the clock is running on a contingency.
We test with continuous radon monitors timed to the inspection window, quote quickly, and can often install and run the post-mitigation test before closing.

Beaverdale Tudors and Their Foundations
Settling block foundations. Many Beaverdale homes have hollow block walls that have shifted over the decades. Soil gas can move through the block cores and cracks.
Cracked basement slabs. Older slabs often have long cracks and a gap at the floor-wall joint. In winter, the stack effect pulls soil gas right through them.
Our usual fix. A sub-slab depressurization system with thorough crack and joint sealing, a gasketed sump lid and, when needed, a second suction point. Pipe routing is planned to keep the brick exterior looking right.

Radon Guides for Des Moines Homeowners
What Des Moines Customers Say
"Our Beaverdale house tested high during the inspection and the sale was on hold. They got a sub-slab system in quickly, the post-test came back low, and we closed on time."
"Our new build in Waukee came with a passive pipe but still tested above 4. They added the attic fan and manometer in one visit and explained the readings."
"Fan alarm went off on a Sunday night. I called the 24-hour line, got answers right away and a fan replacement booked for Monday."
Radon Questions From Beaverdale
Do Beaverdale Tudors often test high for radon?
Many do. Settling block foundations and cracked slabs give soil gas easy paths in, especially in winter. Only a test tells you your level.
Can you install a system before my closing?
In most cases, yes. We're right next to Beaverdale and schedule quickly to fit real estate timelines.
Will the pipe ruin the look of my brick home?
We plan routing to keep it out of sight, often through the garage or up a rear wall, and can paint exterior pipe.
Do block walls need extra work?
Often. We seal cracks and open block cores where needed and may add a second suction point.
