Radon Testing in Allison

Radon Testing in Allison, Butler County, by Closer Look Inspectors. Allison is the Butler County seat, a small town of older homes on open farm ground, and we calibrate every visit to that.

Radon testing places an EPA-protocol continuous monitor on a home's lowest livable level to measure radon gas — and it matters across Iowa, which has the highest average indoor radon level of any state — roughly five in ten homes test above the action level.

Tuned to Allison.

Allison housing runs to early-1900s and postwar homes with newer subdivision growth, across the courthouse-square core, on gently rolling Iowan Surface ground in the Cedar and Shell Rock valleys — and that mix shapes what a radon testing here needs to find. Instrument-grade tools, a local eye, every visit.

Local conditions in Allison

Iowa runs no municipal time-of-sale inspection ordinance, which makes an independent inspection the only thorough, buyer-side read on a Allison home. Allison sits in Butler County, and Iowa has the highest average indoor radon level of any state — the Iowa DNR puts roughly five in ten Iowa homes above the 4.0 pCi/L action level, and Iowa sellers must disclose known radon results on the property disclosure. Finished basements concentrate it, and only a 48-hour test gives you this home's number. Footings here are set below a frost line of roughly 42 inches in northern Iowa, and that annual freeze-thaw cycle drives the settlement cracks and ice-dam wear we calibrate every Allison visit to find.

Questions

Common questions.

Is radon really a concern in Iowa?
Yes. The Iowa Department of Natural Resources reports that roughly 50 percent of homes statewide measure above the EPA action level, and finished basements are where it concentrates.
How long does the test run?
A 48-hour minimum under closed-house conditions; the result is delivered with your inspection report.
Do you cover Allison?
Yes. Around Allison the 42-inch northern-Iowa frost line drives settlement cracks and ice-dam wear, and Bremer-Butler ground shares Iowa's Zone 1 radon standing, so a 48-hour radon test rides along on most inspections.
