Radon mitigation in Center Point usually follows a high reading, so the first steps are knowing how radon gets in and getting a test done.
Radon in Center Point: the local picture
Linn County Public Health lists the ways radon gets inside: construction joints, gaps around service pipes, cavities in walls, sump pumps, private wells and cracks in solid floors [1]. Since you can't see, taste or smell it, the county says testing is the only way to know [1].
Can Center Point homes get a free radon kit?
Linn County residents can use the American Lung Association's order form, one kit per household while supplies last. Some addresses get sent to the Healthy Hometowns form instead [2].
When should Center Point homeowners test again?
Linn County Public Health suggests testing before and after any renovation, especially after repairs meant to lower radon, and before you change how you use a lower level [1].

We're a referral service, not a contractor. We send mitigation requests only to contractors on Iowa HHS's current credentialed list and testing requests only to state-certified radon measurement specialists, but we don't otherwise vet them, a referral is not an endorsement, and independent contractors may pay us for referrals.
