Radon Testing in Hubbard

Radon Testing in Hubbard, Hardin County, by Closer Look Inspectors. Hubbard is a small farm town of older homes between Eldora and the I-35 corridor.

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.

Two-story home with lit windows in fresh snow at dusk — Radon Testing in Hubbard, IAHubbard
Local housing

Homes in Hubbard.

Hubbard housing runs to older farm-town homes, across the town core, on flat lobe till toward the Eldora hills — and that mix shapes what a radon testing here needs to find.

Local conditions in Hubbard

Hubbard sits on Des Moines Lobe till — heavy, poorly drained clay that holds water against foundations and moves with moisture, which is what drives basement seepage and foundation cracking across central Iowa. Hubbard sits in Hardin 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 Hubbard-area homes face.

Questions

Common questions.

Is radon really a concern in Iowa?
Yes. The Iowa Department of Natural Resources reports that more than two in five Iowa homes have radon levels that pose a significant health risk, 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 Hubbard?
Yes — Hardin County is core corridor range. The older stock concentrates findings in services, roofs and foundations dated by age, with flat-till grading and Iowa's Zone 1 radon standing close behind.
