Radon Testing in Waverly
Radon testing places an EPA-protocol continuous monitor on a home's lowest livable level to measure radon gas — and it matters across Iowa, where Iowa HHS reports 71.6 percent of homes above the action level — the largest percentage of any state.
Iowa has the largest percentage of homes above the EPA 4.0 pCi/L action level of any state, per Iowa HHS (71.6 percent in the Iowa Radon Survey), and Bremer County is Radon Zone 1. Iowa sellers must disclose known results, but most Waverly homes have never been tested. We place an EPA-protocol continuous monitor on the lowest livable level for a 48-hour closed-house test and attach the result to your report.

Local conditions in Waverly
No Iowa law requires a home inspection before a sale — the one mandatory time-of-transfer inspection covers private septic systems (Iowa Code 455B.172) — which makes an independent inspection the only thorough, buyer-side read on a Waverly home. Waverly sits in Bremer County, and every Iowa county is EPA Radon Zone 1. Iowa HHS reports Iowa has the largest percentage of homes above the 4.0 pCi/L action level of any state — 71.6 percent in the Iowa Radon Survey — and the Iowa seller disclosure form asks for any known radon test results. Finished basements concentrate it, and only a 48-hour test gives you this home's number. Iowa leaves frost depth to the local building code rather than one statewide number, and the annual freeze-thaw cycle drives the settlement cracks and ice-dam wear that Waverly-area homes face.
