You may have heard of radon and that you should have your home tested. But what exactly is radon? Radon is a radioactive gas that's invisible, odorless, and tasteless, and is found everywhere in the United States, including Colorado. At high levels, exposure to radon can pose a serious risk to your and your family's health. Woodland Park 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 or you need to install a radon mitigation system, Rocky Mtn Radon & Environmental can help.

The primary causes of indoor air quality problems in homes are indoor pollution sources that release gases or particles. Such sources include radon, volatile organic compounds (VOCs), mold, dust mites, and pet dander. When there's not enough fresh outdoor air let into the home, the level of indoor pollutants 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 and openings in the foundation or any floors or walls that are in contact with the ground. Radon can become trapped inside the home and build up to a level that's unsafe. Getting a radon test is the only way to know if your Woodland Park 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.
Radon testing is recommended for all homes. Testing for radon is especially critical in Woodland Park, where the EPA has identified a 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.
If a radon level is confirmed to be 4 picocuries per liter, pCi/L or higher, installing a radon mitigation system can help lower the level. We provide radon testing, design and install radon reduction systems, and inspect radon systems to ensure they're working correctly.
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. 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. 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.
