Manson questions, answered straight

Does the buried impact crater affect radon here?

It is a genuinely interesting piece of local geology, but it is not a usable predictor for an individual home. Radon depends on the uranium content and permeability of the soil directly beneath your foundation and on how your house handles air pressure. Test the address.

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 — almost always the larger exposure — then let the water result decide.

Is winter testing valid?

Winter is arguably the best time. Closed-house conditions are exactly what short-term protocols require, and they reflect how you live for months of the year in Iowa. A properly conducted winter result needs no asterisk.
