Radon Testing in Swea City

Radon Testing in Swea City, Kossuth County, by Closer Look Inspectors. Swea City is a Swedish-settled farm town on the flat pothole prairie of far-north Iowa.

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 Swea City.

Swea City housing runs to older Swedish-settled farm-town homes, across the town core, on flat pothole prairie in far-north Kossuth County — and that mix shapes what a radon testing here needs to find.

Local conditions in Swea City

Swea City 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. Swea City sits in Kossuth 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 Swea City-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 Swea City?
Yes — the far-north pothole country is within range. The older stock gets services and foundations dated, and the tiled-prairie water table keeps sump systems and grading at the top of the list.
