Drake radon expertise

## Built for Rentals and Turnover

Rentals near Drake University change tenants often. A system that's easy to switch off, a sump lid that gets left open or a manometer nobody checks can all undo the fix.

We install durable systems with tamper-resistant manometers, label every component, and give landlords a simple retest schedule. Testing between tenants is easy to set up with our 24-hour booking line.

## Homes and Rentals Near Drake

**Older single-family and duplexes.** Early 1900s basements often have cracked slabs, old block or brick walls and open sumps.

**Student apartments.** Ground-floor units in larger buildings may fall under multifamily testing standards.

**Durable design.** Exterior or garage-mounted fans, sealed and secured sump lids, and visible manometers make systems easy to verify.
