Radon is an invisible and odorless gas that poses a serious health risk to humans. In fact, 20,000+ lung cancer deaths can be traced to radon exposure each year.

Not only is radon deadly and difficult to detect, but it can be found in virtually any home. It forms as uranium decays in the soil, typically below the foundation of a house. Once it seeps its way into a structure it can accumulate. For that reason, radon can be detected in homes of any age or condition.

It is a common myth that only older homes, or those with basements, can have dangerous levels of radon gas. However, that’s simply not accurate. Our years of experience with radon testing and mitigation in Colorado have shown us that any home can be affected.

How common is radon? Studies conducted by Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) suggest that 1 out of every 15 homes tests at an unsafe levels (defined as more than  4.0 pCi/L picocuries per liter of air). For that reason, it is recommended that you test your home.

If radon is detected at an unsafe level, our team will install a radon mitigation system that’s is both functional and aesthetically pleasing. We use only the best materials in the industry. These include:

• Special high-grade radon fans designed specifically for radon mitigation
• To vent up and around the eve of your home we use sch. 40 pvc pipe or aluminum downspout pipe.
• Your choice!
• Airtight sump covers with view ports.

While your safety is our top priority, we want to preserve the beauty and comfort of your home as well.

Although each situation is unique, radon is one of the easiest problems to identify and solve in most homes. It can be removed quickly, safely, and without major expenses. The key, however, is to choose the right team to help.

Note: If you are in the process of buying a new home, higher-than-normal radon levels does not necessarily mean that a home can’t be bought or sold. In fact, the presence of radon in one home suggests that others in the same area are likely to be affected. In many cases rather than searching for a different home elsewhere, just have a radon mitigation system installed.
