What Is Radon and Why Does It Matter in Colorado?

Radon is a naturally occurring radioactive gas produced as uranium breaks down in soil and rock. Because it is invisible and has no smell, it can enter a home and build up without anyone noticing.

Colorado's geology means many homes across the state can have elevated radon. That's why testing is so important here — your level is specific to your home, your soil, and how your foundation is built.

The EPA recommends taking action when radon levels reach 4.0 pCi/L or higher. If your test comes back elevated, a mitigation system can help reduce the level and give you peace of mind.
