Boone and Boone County
Boone anchors our Boone County territory, which also routes the Ogden and Woodward areas. EPA places Boone County — like all of Iowa — in Zone 1 on its Map of Radon Zones. Iowa certifies radon professionals through the state health department, and Ames and Des Moines contractors quote Boone routinely.
If the result surfaced in a transaction
Transactions here often involve long-held family property, which means inspection findings frequently surface facts nobody had measured. Iowa sellers disclose known radon information on the state form; nothing requires testing or mitigation.

The housing you’re mitigating
The older core brings brick, block, and occasionally stone foundations with additions from several eras, partial basements, and porch crawl spaces. Postwar blocks are ranch-dominated with sump pits common. River-valley properties sometimes have sloped-lot or walkout configurations.

Boone questions, answered straight
Our house is over a century old. Is mitigation realistic?
Yes — older foundations are routine work, though the design is custom rather than templated. Expect the quote to address sealing accessible openings, possible membranes over exposed soil, and suction placement suited to the foundation type.
Does the railroad history affect radon?
No. Radon comes from uranium decaying in soil and rock beneath your foundation; industrial or rail history is not a usable predictor for an individual home. Test the address.
How do we verify the system worked?
Insist the post-mitigation radon test be in the scope of work. Run under closed-house conditions after startup, it proves the indoor number dropped rather than merely that the fan is running.
