Protecting Central Iowa Homes During National Radon Action Month
Iowa Radon Defense: Protecting Central Iowa Homes During
National Radon Action Month
As Central Iowa experiences National Radon Action Month, Iowa Radon Defense (IRD) is at the forefront, raising awareness about radon gas and its serious health risks. This naturally occurring, invisible gas is the second leading cause of lung cancer, claiming over 21,000 lives annually. For homeowners in Central Iowa, the dangers are significant—our region is classified as high risk for radon exposure, making testing and mitigation essential for safety.
Why Radon Testing Is Crucial
Radon forms from the natural decay of uranium found in soil, rock, and water. Once trapped indoors, it can accumulate to harmful levels. Unlike other household hazards, radon is odorless, tasteless, and colorless, meaning it goes unnoticed without proper testing. In Iowa, many homes exceed the EPA’s recommended radon action level, putting residents’ health in jeopardy. IRD’s role is to educate the community and provide solutions that create safer living spaces.
Our Mission: Clearing Air, Safer Lives
At Iowa Radon Defense, we believe that education and action save lives. Our tagline, “Clearing Air, Saving Lives,” reflects this mission. By empowering Central Iowa homeowners with knowledge and offering expert mitigation services, we’re reducing radon risks, one home at a time.
Testing is the first step toward a healthier home. A radon test is quick and easy, and if elevated levels are found, our mitigation systems can reduce radon levels by up to 99%.
Building a Healthier Central Iowa
National Radon Action Month is the ideal time to take action. Whether through partnerships with local organizations or community outreach, Iowa Radon Defense is dedicated to ensuring every family in Central Iowa knows about the risks of radon and how to mitigate them.
A Story of Safety
Take the story of the Andersons in Des Moines. After learning about radon risks during a local event, they reached out to IRD for a home test. The results showed dangerously high radon levels, but with a professionally installed mitigation system, their home is now safe. The Andersons have since encouraged their neighbors to test their homes as well, spreading awareness in their community.
