Radon Testing in Moorland

Radon Testing in Moorland, Webster County, by Closer Look Inspectors. Moorland is a small Webster County town on U.S. 20 at the west end of Business 20 into Fort Dodge.

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.

Local housing

Homes in Moorland.

Moorland housing runs to older frame homes and postwar houses, about eighty in all, across the small grid at the west end of Business U.S. 20, on flat Des Moines Lobe till west of Fort Dodge — and that mix shapes what a radon testing here needs to find.

Local conditions in Moorland

Moorland 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. Moorland sits in Webster 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 Moorland-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.
Is radon a concern for a Moorland home?
Yes. Iowa has the largest percentage of homes above the EPA radon action level of any state, per Iowa HHS, and Webster County is Radon Zone 1. Most Moorland homes have never been tested, so we place an EPA-protocol continuous monitor for 48 hours and attach the result to the report. The inspection itself concentrates on aging services and slow-draining till: panels, supply lines, roofs, grading and the sump.
