According to RDS Environmental, “New data provided by the Colorado Department of Health, shows that over 50% of Colorado homes that are tested have elevated radon levels.” You cannot see, smell or taste radon but it could be a problem in any home, old or new.
All homes should be tested. Radon is the 2nd leading cause of lung cancer, with cigarette smoking being number one.
Elevated radon levels have been found throughout Colorado, in the following cities: Denver, Littleton, Boulder, Broomfield, Aurora, Golden, Louisville, Superior, Erie, Westminster, Evergreen, Colorado Springs, Thornton, Northglenn, Nederland, Aspen, Morrison, Elizabeth, Monument, Castle Rock and many others.
Radon testing is easy and inexpensive. You can obtain a radon test kit from local hardware stores or from the local Health Department. RDS provides do-it-yourself testing kits, in addition to electronic radon monitors for real estate transactions.
If you find you have elevated radon levels after conducting a test, you should consider installing a radon mitigation system. These systems consist of PVC piping that extend from the lowest floor of your home, usually the basement slab, to the exterior of your home. A radon fan is installed to the piping, which allows for a suction to be created drawing up the radon gas and expelling it into the air where it will naturally dissipate. The systems provide a path of least resistance for the radon, preventing it from building up to unsafe levels in your home.
The cost of a radon mitigation system is about the same as purchasing a new appliance. Installing a system does not have to be costly and certainly does not have prevent a closing on a real estate transaction. as the radon levels can be corrected with the installation of a radon reduction system.
During our years in the radon industry, RDS has tested over one million homes throughout Colorado and across the country.
