Radon Testing
Find out your radon level first. Decide after.
A test tells you whether your home needs a system at all. Boulder County sits in EPA Zone 1, and the county estimates about one in two homes here has an elevated level, so the EPA recommends testing every home, including homes that already have a radon fan.
You can test on your own. Boulder County lists the ReSource Tool Library at 6400 Arapahoe Road in Boulder and the CSU Extension office in Longmont as places to buy short-term kits, and most hardware stores carry them. The State of Colorado also gives out free mail-in kits while supplies last.
If you'd rather hand it off, or you need a number you can trust for a big decision, we place the test, read it and explain what the result means for your house. Call (983) 200-7452.
Different tests answer different questions.
Two to seven days with the house kept closed. Quick, inexpensive and the normal place to start.
Ninety days or longer, for a truer picture of your average across seasons.
Electronic monitors that record hour-by-hour readings, useful when a result has to hold up, like in a home sale.
Run after a system goes in to document how far the level dropped.
A closed-up house in winter shows the highest reading, which is the one to plan around.
We tell you what your number means and what the EPA guidance says to do about it.

Free — no obligations
Place it on the lowest level you live in, away from windows, vents and outside walls.
Normal coming and going is fine. Leave windows and doors shut otherwise.
Results come back in pCi/L. The EPA says fix at 4.0 or above and consider fixing from 2 to 4.
If the level is high, we design a system for your foundation and give you a written price.
