Radon mitigation in Cedar Rapids, Iowa
Radon testing and systems for homes on both sides of the Cedar River, from Czech Village and Wellington Heights to Kenwood Park and Bowman Woods.
Cedar Rapids is Iowa's second-largest city and the county seat of Linn County, with 137,710 residents at the 2020 census. The Cedar River divides it into east and west sides. Its housing ranges from older homes near downtown and in neighborhoods like Wellington Heights and Kenwood Park to newer subdivisions on the edges of town, and nearly all of it sits on soil in a state with some of the nation's highest radon levels.
Radon after floods and storms
Cedar Rapids has rebuilt after two major disasters. In June 2008, the Cedar River crested at a record 31.12 feet and flooded more than 1,100 city blocks, and in August 2020 a derecho brought winds estimated as high as 140 mph. Basement repairs, new foundations, sump work and storm damage can all change how radon enters a home. If your home was rebuilt, repaired or had a system installed before either event, retest.
