Fast, Dependable Results when it Matters the Most
Radon is a colorless, odorless, radioactive gas that can accumulate in homes and buildings—especially in basements or crawlspaces. It’s a major cause of lung cancer in non-smokers, and the only way to detect it is with specialized testing.

What Is a Radon Inspection?
A radon inspection involves placing a measurement device—usually in the lowest livable level of the property—for 2 to 7 days. Once the test is complete, samples are sent to a lab or analyzed on-site using calibrated digital equipment.
If results come back above the EPA action level of 4.0 pCi/L (picocuries per liter), follow-up testing or mitigation may be needed.
Do I Need a Radon Test in Colorado?
Yes. Radon is naturally occurring throughout Colorado, and levels can vary drastically—even between neighboring homes. Testing is recommended for:
- Property buyers (residential or commercial)
- Rental property inspections (Denver’s licensing program)
- Daycares, schools, or elder care facilities
- Post-renovation or foundation work
- Homes with basements or crawlspaces
- Properties in high-risk zones (EPA Zone 1)
Even if not legally required, a radon inspection is a low-cost, high-impact safety check.
Why Radon Testing Matters
- Radon exposure is linked to lung cancer and respiratory damage
- You can’t smell, taste, or see radon—testing is the only way to detect it
- Children, elderly, and immunocompromised individuals are most at risk
- Radon levels can fluctuate seasonally or after construction work
- Results can affect real estate transactions, mortgage underwriting, or tenant compliance
What Happens if Radon Levels Are High?
If initial testing shows radon levels above 4.0 pCi/L:
- We’ll recommend a follow-up test (to confirm results)
- If still high, you’ll need a radon mitigation system
- We can refer you to licensed radon mitigation contractors
- After mitigation, we retest to verify that radon levels are reduced to safe levels
Mitigation systems typically use sub-slab depressurization—a fan system that pulls radon from under the house and vents it outside.
