How radon mitigation works in Council Bluffs homes

Most homes here have basements, and the standard fix is sub-slab depressurization: a contractor drills a suction hole through the basement slab (or uses the sump pit), runs PVC pipe to an inline fan mounted outside or in the attic or garage, and vents soil gas above the roofline. Cracks and openings are sealed, a manometer is installed so you can see the system working, and a follow-up test confirms results. Homes with crawl spaces get a sealed plastic membrane with suction underneath.

Next steps

1. Test if you haven't. Short-term tests take 2 to 4 days; long-term tests (90+ days) give a better annual average.
2. If your result is 4.0 pCi/L or higher, the EPA recommends fixing your home. Consider it between 2 and 4 pCi/L.
3. Get a quote from a Iowa-certified mitigation contractor and ask about the fan, warranty, and post-mitigation test.
