About IARadonMitigation

IARadonMitigation operates an Iowa-focused referral directory for residential radon testing and mitigation services. We do not perform radon measurement or mitigation, do not employ technicians, and do not hold any IDPH radon certifications. We connect Iowa homeowners and real-estate professionals with independent IDPH-licensed radon measurement specialists and mitigation contractors through a pay-per-call affiliate network for scheduled diagnostic testing, full active soil depressurization (ASD) installations, real-estate-transfer testing, and post-mitigation verification.

How we make money

When a call results in a booked job, the provider's network pays IARadonMitigation a referral fee. You pay the contractor directly. The fee does not increase your quoted price.

How Iowa radon licensing works

Iowa regulates radon professionals under Iowa Code Chapter 136B and 641 IAC Chapter 43, administered by the Iowa Department of Public Health (IDPH) Radon Program. Iowa issues two distinct credentials: a radon measurement specialist license (for testing) and a radon mitigation specialist license (for ASD system design and installation). Many firms hold both. National-program credentialing through the National Radon Proficiency Program (NRPP) or the National Radon Safety Board (NRSB) is a prerequisite for IDPH licensure. Our network partners are verified for current IDPH licensing, general liability insurance ($1M minimum), and (where they self-install) workers' compensation coverage. Always verify a contractor's IDPH license status at idph.iowa.gov/radon before signing a mitigation contract; the public registry is searchable by license number and company name.

Why Iowa radon matters

The EPA radon program classifies all 99 Iowa counties as Zone 1 — the highest predicted-radon tier. The Iowa Cancer Registry, maintained by the University of Iowa, has tracked radon-attributable lung cancer for decades and documents radon as the leading environmental cause of lung cancer in non-smokers statewide. The EPA action level is 4 pCi/L; over 70% of tested Iowa homes exceed it, and many basement-heavy pre-1980 homes test at 10-20 pCi/L. ASD mitigation reliably reduces these levels below 2 pCi/L.

Iowa one-party consent for call recording

Iowa is a one-party consent state for call recording under Iowa Code § 808B.2. Recording disclosure is provided by the affiliate network at call connection as a courtesy.
