# Radon Mitigation in Downtown Des Moines

Last updated: October 27, 2026

Downtown Des Moines is high-rise condos, converted warehouse lofts and mixed-use office buildings. Radon work here usually means multi-family compliance, ground-floor and below-grade spaces, and systems that work with building HVAC instead of against it.

Downtown radon expertise

## What Makes Downtown Radon Work Different

Most downtown buildings don't look like a typical house. Ground-contact units sit over large slabs, and some residential floors sit above structured parking. Old warehouse masonry has cracks, joints and utility chases that soil gas can follow. Big air handlers change building pressure from hour to hour.

We start with testing that follows the right standard for the building, then use pressure field extension diagnostics before designing a system. For property managers, we provide reports that work for owners, tenants and lenders, and we schedule around residents and business hours.

Housing & foundations

## Buildings and Foundations Downtown

**Converted warehouse lofts.** Older masonry buildings near the Principal Riverwalk and East of the river often have thick foundation walls, patched slabs and old utility penetrations. Sealing is a big part of the work.

**High-rise condos.** Ground-floor and lower-level units carry the most risk. HUD and agency multifamily rules may require testing in a sample of units.

**Mixed-use offices.** Offices over retail or parking need systems that account for HVAC pressure and garage ventilation.

Straight Answers

## Radon Questions From Downtown

### Do condos downtown need radon testing?

expand\_more

Ground-contact and lower-level units carry the most risk, but any unit can be tested. Multifamily buildings may also have lender or HUD testing requirements.

### Can you work with building HVAC systems?

expand\_more

Yes. We account for air handler pressure during diagnostics and design so the radon system and HVAC don't fight each other.

### Do you work with property managers?

expand\_more

Yes. We coordinate unit access, schedule around residents and provide reports for owners, tenants and lenders.

### Can you mitigate older warehouse lofts?

expand\_more

Yes. Older masonry needs careful sealing and diagnostics, and we design systems that respect the building's look.

### What's the first step?
