Radon Testing in Swaledale
Radon Testing in Swaledale, Cerro Gordo County, by Closer Look Inspectors. Swaledale is a small Cerro Gordo County village of older homes, 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.
SwaledaleTuned to Swaledale.
Swaledale housing runs to older farm-town homes with postwar additions, across the village core, on flat, heavy Des Moines Lobe till around Mason City — and that mix shapes what a radon testing here needs to find. Instrument-grade tools, a local eye, every visit.
Local conditions in Swaledale
Swaledale 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. Swaledale sits in Cerro Gordo 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 Swaledale visit to find.
