Radon Testing & Mitigation in Colorado Springs, CO
Colorado Springs sits in El Paso County, which the EPA designates Radon Zone 1 — its highest-risk category, meaning the predicted average indoor radon level exceeds the EPA's 4.0 pCi/L action level. We test and mitigate homes and commercial buildings across the city, from Old Colorado City to the Powers corridor.
Why radon behaves the way it does in Colorado Springs
The ground underneath
The west side of the city runs up against the Pikes Peak granite batholith, and much of the rest sits on the Fountain Formation and Dawson Arkose. Granitic rock and the arkosic gravels weathered out of it carry trace uranium, and uranium decay is what produces radon. That is the short version of why radon readings here are so often elevated regardless of how new or well-built a house is.
The housing here
Housing stock splits roughly three ways. Mid-century ranches on the older east and central sides usually have full basements on block or poured foundations, where settling cracks and floor-to-wall joints become entry points. The 1990s-through-2010s two-stories in Briargate, Stetson Hills and the Powers corridor typically have full or garden-level basements with sump pits — a sump pit with an open lid is one of the most common radon pathways we find. West-side and hillside homes are more likely to have crawl spaces or split foundations, which need a different mitigation design than a flat full basement.
What we see locally
Because so much of the city's inventory has finished or finishable basements, the most common reason people call here is a basement remodel. Turning a basement into a bedroom, office, or rental is exactly the change that moves a family's daily breathing zone down into the highest-radon part of the house. Test before you finish, not after.
