Radon Mitigation

Frequently asked questions

Is radon really common in Denver?

Yes. Elevated readings are common across Denver and the Front Range, which is why radon testing comes up so often during real estate transactions and basement projects.

What number means I should take action?

The EPA action level is 4.0 pCi/L. If your test is at or above that number, mitigation is usually the next step, and if it is close, a follow-up conversation can help you decide.

How long does a mitigation install take?

Most residential systems can be installed in a day, though the layout of the home, vent routing, and crawl space or sump conditions can affect timing.

Will the system make a lot of noise or look obvious?

A properly selected fan should stay relatively unobtrusive, and we plan vent routing to keep the system as clean and low-profile as the house allows.

Should I re-test after mitigation?

Yes. Verification is the only way to confirm the system is doing what it should, which is why we include post-mitigation testing in the process.

Still unsure what your radon results mean?

Call with the number, the property type, and whether the home has a basement or crawl space, and we will help you sort out the next move.
