Radon and other indoor air pollutants can put you and your family at risk for health problems. You may already know about the negative symptoms associated with mold, dust mites, or pet dander, but what about radon? Radon is a radioactive gas that's invisible, odorless, and tasteless, and it's the second leading cause of lung cancer. Radon gas can enter homes through cracks and openings in the foundation or floors or walls in contact with the ground. Pueblo is in "Zone 1" with a potential for high radon levels (U.S. Environmental Protection Agency). If you're looking to get a radon test, install a radon mitigation system, or improve your indoor air quality (IAQ), Rocky Mtn Radon & Environmental can help. We're trained and experienced Pueblo radon and IAQ contractors in the National Radon Defense network. We provide reliable radon testing, radon mitigation, and indoor air quality services.

The primary causes of indoor air quality problems are indoor pollution sources that release gases or particles. Such sources include radon gas, volatile organic compounds (VOCs), mold, dust mites, and pet dander. When there's not enough fresh outdoor air let into the home, indoor air pollution can increase. This can contribute to or worsen allergy and asthma symptoms. Some pollutants at high levels, including radon, can contribute to cancer and other serious health conditions.
Radon gas is formed from the natural breakdown of uranium found in soils, rock, and water. It can get into homes and other buildings through cracks or other openings in the foundation, floors, or walls in contact with the ground. Radon can become trapped inside the basement, crawl space, or living space, and build up to a level that's unsafe. Getting a radon test is the only way to know if your Pueblo home has a radon problem. If high radon levels are found in your home, you'll need to install a radon mitigation system to lower the amount of radon to a level that's safe. The qualified radon specialists at Rocky Mtn Radon & Environmental can test your home and recommend the right radon mitigation solution.
Along with radon, there are other indoor air pollutants that may cause health problems. Such pollutants include pollen, pet dander, and mold spores, among others. Some indoor air pollutants can make asthma, respiratory issues, or allergies worse. Fortunately, Rocky Mtn Radon & Environmental can help you improve your indoor air quality. We offer a range of IAQ solutions, including radon reduction systems, ventilation systems, air cleaners, and more. Our IAQ specialists can recommend the right improvements for your home.

Although radon testing is recommended for all homes, it's especially critical in Pueblo, where the EPA has identified a significant potential for high radon levels. There are several methods to test for radon. At Rocky Mtn Radon & Environmental, we typically use a continuous radon monitor to measure radon levels for 48 hours. Then, if the test result shows high radon levels, we’ll recommend the best method to lower the radon levels in your home safely, including installing a radon mitigation system. Take the first step in protecting yourself and your family against radon exposure by scheduling a radon test today.
Radon reduction is recommended for a radon level at 4 picocuries per liter, pCi/L or higher. Installing a radon mitigation system can effectively reduce the level of radon gas in the home. We provide radon testing, radon mitigation, and radon system inspections for Pueblo homes.
The primary method of radon reduction is soil suction. This method prevents radon from entering the home by drawing the radon gas from below the home through a pipe and releasing it safely into the outdoor air. Your radon specialist will inspect your home and design a radon reduction system based on how high your radon level is, the size of your home, and the type of foundation your home has. After the installation, our radon professionals can routinely check your radon mitigation system to make sure it's working correctly to keep your radon level low.
