Radon Testing in New Sharon

Radon Testing in New Sharon, Mahaska County, by Closer Look Inspectors. New Sharon is a small farm town of older frame homes north of Oskaloosa, 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.

New Sharon

Calibrated

Tuned to New Sharon.

New Sharon housing runs to older frame farm-town homes, across the town core, on rolling Mahaska County drift — and that mix shapes what a radon testing here needs to find. Instrument-grade tools, a local eye, every visit.

Local conditions in New Sharon

Iowa runs no municipal time-of-sale inspection ordinance, which makes an independent inspection the only thorough, buyer-side read on a New Sharon home. New Sharon sits in Mahaska 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 36 to 42 inches, and that annual freeze-thaw cycle drives the settlement cracks and ice-dam wear we calibrate every New Sharon 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 New Sharon?

Yes — northern Mahaska County is in range. The older frame stock concentrates findings in services, roofs and foundations, and the rolling clay ground adds the drainage and settlement read that leads most southern-Iowa reports.
