More than four in ten homes here test high

In El Paso County, over 40% of homes tested between 2005 and 2023 came back at or above the radon action level. That is not a rare problem in a few neighborhoods. It is most of the county.

The county sits in EPA Radon Zone 1. That is the highest-potential category the EPA assigns. A high reading in a Colorado Springs home is expected, not a sign something is wrong with the house.

The number to watch is 4.0

The EPA recommends fixing a home at or above 4.0 pCi/L. Below that, you keep an eye on it. At or above it, a mitigation system moves the gas out from under the slab and vents it above the roof, before it reaches the living space.

Hiring in Colorado: ask for the license

Since July 1, 2022, Colorado law requires a state license to do radon mitigation work. Anyone quoting you a system should hold one. Ask for the number. Ask where the fan will vent. Ask for a post-install test result in writing.

We install the system, retest the house, and hand you the readings. (719) 992-5845 to start.
