Radon Mitigation in Ames, IA

Keeping Ames Homes and Families Safe from Hidden Radon Risks

Life in Ames offers the perfect mix of community, education, and opportunity, from cheering on the Cyclones to enjoying the small-town warmth that makes Story County special. But like much of central Iowa, Ames is located in an area where radon levels are naturally high, putting local homeowners at an increased risk.

That’s where AmeriServ Radon Mitigation of Iowa comes in. As Iowa’s trusted name in radon testing and mitigation, we help homeowners, schools, and businesses in Ames identify radon problems and install systems that keep indoor air safe—backed by proven results, certified expertise, and a satisfaction guarantee.

Why Ames Homes Are Prone to High Radon Levels

The geology of central Iowa—especially around Ames—creates ideal conditions for radon gas to form underground and seep into homes through cracks, sump pits, and foundation openings. Because radon is colorless and odorless, there’s no way to detect it without testing.

Even homes with solid foundations or newer construction can have unsafe levels. In fact, more than 70% of homes in Iowa test above the EPA’s recommended radon limit of 4.0 pCi/L.

Testing is the only way to know for sure if your home is affected, and AmeriServ Radon makes it simple, fast, and reliable.
