Mean pre-mitigation level in tests reported 2008–2017, CDC Tracking Network. EPA action level 4 pCi/L; Iowa averages 8.5.
What 11.8 pCi/L means for your Kellogg home
In the CDC's 2008 to 2017 data, the average Jasper County home measured 11.8 pCi/L before mitigation, 5th highest of Iowa's 99 counties and far above the U.S. average of 1.3. Polk County, next door to the metro, averages 7.3; Jasper County runs higher, and Kellogg homes test accordingly. Iowa HHS is blunt that neighbors can test very differently, which is why we never guess at a Kellogg home from the county figure.
The county figure tells you the odds; a certified test tells you the answer. We place a continuous monitor in your Kellogg home for 48 to 72 hours and email the report the day it comes out. If it reads 4 pCi/L or higher, you get a written mitigation quote the same day, and every system we install is guaranteed below 2.7 pCi/L.
Free radon test kit for Kellogg homes
Yes. Kellogg is in a rural Iowa county covered by the state's free radon test kit program.
Healthy Hometowns: Combat Cancer, run by Marion County Public Health with local health departments across rural Iowa, provides one free radon test kit per household while supplies last. Request it through the program's order form, or ask Jasper County Public Health.
Request a free kit (Healthy Hometowns: Combat Cancer) →A free kit is a mailed charcoal test: results take a couple of weeks, one kit can miss a high reading, and it is not accepted for a real-estate sale. If it comes back at 4.0 pCi/L or higher, the next step is a certified 48-to-72-hour monitor test with same-day results, then a same-day mitigation quote.
The same program is funding mitigation help for rural homeowners whose homes test high. If your kit comes back at 4.0 pCi/L or above, call us: we confirm the number with a certified monitor test, quote a system the same day, and point you to your Jasper County program contact for any assistance you qualify for.

Radon in Kellogg Homes
Kellogg has held close to 606 residents for the last decade, and most of its housing dates from well before the era of poured basements and drain tile. Incorporated in 1874, its railroad-era homes tend to sit on concrete-block or stone foundations, often with a partial basement or crawl space, which gives radon more than one way in.
With about 1,638 residents per square mile over 0.37 square miles, Kellogg has the lot sizes of a traditional Iowa town: detached houses, side yards, and room to put the fan and vent where they are least visible. Routing is rarely the hard part here; the foundation is.
We reach Kellogg, 38 miles east of Des Moines, a routine drive for our crews, on regular routes. Our nearest other stops are Newton (7 mi), Sully (10 mi) and Lynnville (12 mi), so a Kellogg visit usually pairs with jobs nearby. Testing is a 48-to-72-hour continuous monitor with same-day results, and most mitigations finish in one visit, followed by a clearance test and our 2.7 pCi/L guarantee.

Kellogg Radon Questions
Does All Midwest Radon serve Kellogg, Iowa?
We do. Our Jasper County route covers Kellogg and its neighbors Newton, Sully, Lynnville, 38 miles out from Des Moines. Tests are scheduled seven days a week and mitigation visits are booked like any metro job.
How high is radon around Kellogg?
The Jasper County average is 11.8 pCi/L in the CDC's 2008 to 2017 data, 5th of 99 Iowa counties. The EPA action level is 4. Averages describe the county, not your house: Kellogg homes land on both sides of the line, and only a certified test tells you which.
Can I get a free radon test kit in Kellogg?
Yes. Jasper County households can request one free short-term radon test kit through Healthy Hometowns: Combat Cancer, the state program for rural Iowa, while supplies last. A kit is a good first look, but results take weeks and it is not accepted for a home sale. A certified 48-to-72-hour monitor test gives same-day results, and any reading at 4.0 pCi/L or above should be confirmed that way before mitigation.
What does a mitigation install in Kellogg involve?
One visit for nearly every Kellogg home. The crew seals a suction point in the slab or sump, runs the pipe to an exterior fan on the least visible side of the house, terminates above the roof, and sets a clearance monitor. The result is guaranteed below 2.7 pCi/L.
Do Kellogg sellers have to test for radon?
No. Iowa Code chapter 558A is a disclosure law: a seller must disclose any known test results and provide the Iowa Radon Home Buyers and Sellers Fact Sheet, but no law requires the test itself. In practice the buyer orders a certified test during the inspection period. We schedule those seven days a week.
