# Radon Mitigation in the Easter Lake Area

Last updated: October 27, 2026

The Easter Lake area on the southeast side has newer subdivisions and contemporary townhomes. Many have builder-installed passive radon pipe, and owners often assume the home is radon proof until a test says otherwise.

Easter Lake radon expertise

## Testing and Activating Passive Systems

A passive radon pipe is a head start, not a guarantee. It relies on natural draft, which often isn't strong enough to get an Iowa home below 4.0 pCi/L.

We test with a 48-hour continuous radon monitor after move-in. If the level is high, we activate the pipe by adding a fan in the attic, a junction box and a U-tube manometer, then retest. Most activations take one short visit.

Housing & foundations

## New Construction in the Easter Lake Area

**Builder passive pipe.** Many homes have a vent stack from under the slab to the roof. Homes built since July 1, 2026 must have one under Iowa HF 2297.

**Townhomes.** Attached units may share foundations. We check how suction behaves across shared slabs before activating.

**Finished lower levels.** Many owners finish basements soon after buying. Testing and activating first keeps the work simple.
