Why Is Radon Testing Essential for Your Home’s Safety?
Understanding the Invisible Threat of Radon Gas
Radon is a naturally occurring, radioactive gas that is invisible, odorless, and tasteless. It is produced by the natural decay of uranium found in soil, rock, and water. This harmful gas can seep into any type of building—including homes, offices, and schools—through cracks in the foundation, gaps around pipes, and other small openings. Because you can’t see or smell it, the only way to know if radon is present in your home is to perform a test.
The primary health risk associated with long-term radon exposure is lung cancer. The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) identifies radon as the second leading cause of lung cancer in the United States, responsible for thousands of deaths each year. Anyone can be affected, but the risk is significantly higher for smokers. Professional testing provides the crucial information you need to protect your family from this silent threat and ensure your indoor air quality is safe.
Accurate and Reliable Results You Can Trust
At Radon Services of Colorado, we utilize state-of-the-art, continuous radon monitors to deliver precise and dependable results. We primarily conduct short-term tests, which typically run for a minimum of 48 hours, providing a quick and accurate snapshot of the radon levels within your home. This method is ideal for real estate transactions or for homeowners who need fast, actionable information about their indoor air quality.
Our certified technicians follow strict EPA protocols to ensure the integrity of every test. The monitoring device is carefully placed in the lowest livable level of your home, as this is where radon concentrations are usually highest. We take care to position the device away from drafts, windows, and areas of high humidity to prevent skewed readings. Once the testing period is complete, we retrieve the device and provide you with a detailed, easy-to-understand report of the findings.
What Do the Numbers Mean for Your Family?
Radon levels are measured in picocuries per liter of air, or pCi/L. After your test is complete, our report will clearly display the average radon concentration in your home over the testing period. Understanding this number is the first step toward making an informed decision about your family’s safety.
The EPA has established an action level of 4.0 pCi/L. If your home’s radon level is 4.0 pCi/L or higher, it is strongly recommended that you take immediate steps to reduce it through a process called radon mitigation. It is also important to know that there is no truly safe level of radon exposure; the EPA also suggests that homeowners consider fixing their homes for levels between 2.0 pCi/L and 4.0 pCi/L.
Our commitment to you doesn’t end with the test results. We will walk you through your report, explaining what the radon levels mean in practical terms. If mitigation is recommended, we can provide guidance on the next steps and connect you with qualified professionals who can install a system to effectively reduce the radon concentration in your home, ensuring a safer living environment for everyone.

The composition of the soil and rock beneath our communities contains uranium deposits that naturally release radon gas, which can easily accumulate indoors.
