Radon Mitigation in Historic East Village
The East Village is historic commercial shophouses, mixed retail and residential buildings, and mid-rise apartments. Radon systems here need to work hard and stay out of sight so facades and interiors keep their character.

East Village radon expertise
Radon Work That Respects Historic Buildings
Many East Village buildings date to the late 1800s and early 1900s. Their brick foundations and old basements let soil gas in through mortar joints, rubble floors and old utility openings. The challenge is fixing that without changing how the building looks.
We plan concealed routing through back-of-house rooms, chases and rear walls, and choose quiet fans that won't bother tenants or shoppers. Every design starts with testing and, for larger buildings, pressure field diagnostics.

Housing & foundations
Foundations in the East Village
19th and early 20th century brick. Mortar joints and old rubble floors leak soil gas. Sealing and careful suction placement matter more than in newer buildings.
Mixed-use buildings. Shops on the ground floor and apartments above mean both commercial and residential concerns. We design for both.
Newer mid-rise apartments. Newer buildings can still test high. Multifamily testing standards set how many units to test.

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 East Village
Can you hide a radon system in a historic building?
Usually, yes. We route through back rooms, chases and rear walls and avoid street-facing facades.
Do old brick foundations need special work?
Often. Mortar joints and rubble floors need sealing, and suction points have to be placed carefully.
Do you work in mixed-use buildings?
Yes. We test and mitigate buildings with retail below and apartments above, and schedule around business hours.
Will the fan be noisy for tenants?
We choose quiet fans and place them away from living and selling space.
How do I start?
Call our 24-hour line or send the request form with details about the building.
Still have a question?
Our support line answers 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.
