If the result surfaced in a transaction

Given the age of local housing, checking the attic for a builder-installed passive radon pipe is the useful first step.

The housing you’re mitigating

Expect modern poured foundations, deep basements often roughed in for finishing, sump systems, and attached garages that make routing invisible. Passive rough-ins are common in post-2000 Iowa construction. HOA architectural standards appear in some subdivisions, so exterior routing may need approval.

Huxley questions, answered straight

Our house is from 2015 and tested 7.6. How?

Radon comes from the soil beneath the slab, not from build quality, and tight modern envelopes hold entering soil gas rather than diluting it. In Iowa, newer homes test elevated routinely. Your build era does mean a passive rough-in probably exists, making the fix smaller.

Will our HOA allow a radon system?

Effectively always — associations govern appearance, not whether you may mitigate. Contractors resolve it with rear-elevation placement, paint-matched pipe, or interior routing, and supply the drawings review boards request.

Should mitigation happens before finishing the basement?

Yes. An open basement is when suction placement and routing are cheapest and most flexible, and finishing over a mitigated, verified slab locks the outcome in.
