Radon Mitigation in Downtown Des Moines

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.

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.

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."
Megan T. · Des Moines
"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."
Chris L. · Waukee
"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."

Straight Answers

Radon Questions From Downtown

Do condos downtown need radon testing?

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?

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?

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

Can you mitigate older warehouse lofts?

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

What's the first step?

Call our 24-hour line or send the request form with details about the building and any compliance deadlines.
