Newton, Iowa’s Radon Testing & Mitigation Experts

Radon is a colorless, odorless, radioactive gas. Iowa’s soil is made up of radium, so the levels in Iowa are in the EPA Radon Red Zone, meaning that every county in Iowa has a predicted average indoor radon screening level greater than 4 pCi/L (picocuries per liter). The average level of radon concentration in the US is about 1.3 pCi/L. That is why it is important to have your home or business in Newton, Iowa tested for radon levels.

There is no known safe level of exposure to radon, so it is recommended that you get any level of radon out of your home or business. The professionals at AmeriServ Radon Mitigation of Iowa can test your home for radon levels and recommend the solution for removing this dangerous gas.

AmeriServ can do short-term testing or long-term testing. Short-term testing takes two to three days and is done if the results are needed quickly such as in a real estate transaction. This short-term testing is done using several different methods:

• Charcoal Canisters
• Electret Chamber
• Continuous Monitors
• Liquid Scintillation Detectors

The long-term testing method takes 90 days or more. This method gives a more accurate year-round average of the radon levels in your home or business. Radon levels can vary from day-to-day and season-to-season. If you are interested in learning more about radon testing, contact us!
