Why Iowa Homes Have Some of the Highest Radon Levels in the U.S.

Iowa consistently ranks among states with the highest average indoor radon levels. Much of that comes from uranium-rich glacial deposits and porous soils that let radon gas move toward foundations.

Unlike visible defects, radon gives no smell or taste. The only way to know your exposure is professional testing—especially during a real estate transaction when timelines are tight.

For buyers, a 48-hour test during the inspection period protects your family and your investment. For sellers, documenting results upfront can prevent surprises late in closing.

H8 Inspections uses continuous radon monitoring equipment and clear reporting so you understand results relative to EPA guidance—not alarmist jargon.
