For Ely homeowners, radon mitigation can come up during a home sale or after a first test.
Ely radon details
Linn County Public Health lists buying or selling a home as one of the times to test [1]. A first result between 4.0 and 7.9 pCi/L calls for either a short- or long-term follow-up, and the county recommends a fix if the follow-up confirms it [1].
Where do Ely homeowners get a radon kit?
Call Linn County Public Health at 319-892-6000 to buy a short- or long-term kit, or stop at the county office at 1020 6th St. SE in Cedar Rapids [1].
What if an Ely test reads between 2 and 4 pCi/L?
Linn County's chart says to test again, since one test is a short snapshot. If the second result lands in the same range, the county calls a fix a personal decision that weighs cost against risk [1].
Depending on your result, you may want radon in a home sale, radon testing or radon mitigation. We gather the state rules for testers and mitigators in one place, how it works. Also covered: Cedar Rapids and Iowa City, plus all service areas.

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.
