Story City and Story County

Story City routes through our Story County territory with Ames, Gilbert, Zearing, and Nevada. EPA places Story County in Zone 1 on its Map of Radon Zones. Iowa certifies radon measurement and mitigation specialists through the state health department.

If the result surfaced in a transaction

Transactions here are infrequent and often involve long-held property, so an inspection frequently produces a home’s first-ever radon measurement. Iowa sellers disclose known radon information on the state form; the remedy is negotiated.

Story City questions, answered straight

Our farmhouse has several foundation types. How is it quoted?

Zone by zone, usually on one fan. The contractor identifies every soil-contact surface and designs suction plus membrane work so the whole footprint is addressed. Ask each bidder to name the zones.

We are on a private well. Two tests?

Potentially. The airborne test covers the house; a separate water test tells you whether radon is arriving dissolved in well water. Fix the air first, then let the water result decide.

Is winter testing valid?

Winter is arguably the best time. Closed-house conditions are exactly what short-term test protocols require, and they reflect how you live for months of the year in Iowa.
