Frequently Asked Questions

A professional home inspection by Solar Imput Inc includes a comprehensive evaluation of the home's major systems, including the roof, foundation, electrical, plumbing, and HVAC. Our certified inspectors, Toby Holmes and Robert Boyle, provide a detailed report with photos to give you leverage during a real estate purchase and ensure the property is safe.

You should test for radon because Southeast Iowa is known for high levels of this odorless, cancer-causing gas. Solar Imput Inc provides professional radon measuring services to identify dangerous concentrations. Since radon is invisible, a professional test is the only way to ensure your family's safety and determine if a mitigation system is necessary.

Radon mitigation works by installing a specialized vent pipe and fan system that pulls radon gas from beneath your home's foundation and vents it safely outdoors. Solar Imput Inc designs custom mitigation plans based on your home's specific layout to effectively reduce radon levels below the EPA's recommended action limit.

Crawl space encapsulation protects your home by sealing the area with a heavy-duty moisture barrier. This process prevents mold growth, improves indoor air quality, and increases energy efficiency. At Solar Imput Inc, we specialize in encapsulation to protect your home's structural integrity from the humidity common in the Wapello and Burlington areas.
