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.

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 Drake

Do you test rentals near Drake University?

Yes. We test between tenants and provide reports for landlord records.

What is a tamper-resistant manometer?

It's a U-tube manometer mounted so it can't easily be bumped or reset, giving landlords a reliable read on suction.

Can you mitigate duplexes?

Yes. Many duplexes share a foundation, and one system can often cover both units.

How often should rentals be retested?

Every two years, and after major renovations or foundation work.

How do I schedule?
