Why do You Need Radon Mitigation Iowa?

Radon is the leading environmental carcinogen. Radon  is known as the second highest  cause of lung cancer and, according to the Iowa Department of Public Health,  400 Iowans die yearly from exposure to this naturally produced gas. Radon Mitigation of Iowa can tell you if you are one of the five out of seven homes with dangerously elevated levels of radon in the state.

Where Does Radon Come From?

Radon is formed naturally by the decaying process of uranium and radium which can be found in many rocks. During the span of the Ice Age glaciers carried rocks from the north and distributed them throughout Iowa. Over the years these rocks have become pulverized and been exposed to rain, freezing and thawing and oxygen which caused them to become more porous. Because of this weathering process more and more radon has escaped into the soil, air and water. Once a home or building is constructed, it acts as a vacuum that sucks the radon out of the soil and traps it in the structure. Radon enters a building through cracks in the foundation, sump pumps, or spaces around pipes.
