Radon Testing & Mitigation in Pueblo, CO
Pueblo sits at about 4,692 feet where Fountain Creek meets the Arkansas River — the lowest elevation we serve, and the one with the oldest housing stock. Pueblo County is still EPA Radon Zone 1, which is the point worth making here: low elevation does not mean low radon.
Why radon behaves the way it does in Pueblo
The ground underneath
The city sits on alluvial terraces along the Arkansas and Fountain Creek, underlain regionally by Pierre Shale and related sedimentary formations. Radon comes from uranium decay in whatever rock and soil sits beneath a building, and Pueblo County's designation as Zone 1 reflects a predicted indoor screening average above the EPA's 4.0 pCi/L action level.
The housing here
Pueblo has some of the oldest continuously occupied housing in southern Colorado. Bessemer, the Mesa Junction, the East Side and the historic north side are full of early-1900s brick homes on stone or block foundations, many with partial cellars, dirt or partial-slab basement floors, and later additions on separate slabs. These are the conditions that make a home hard to assess visually and straightforward to mitigate once measured. Pueblo West, by contrast, is largely newer construction on larger lots with full basements and a more conventional mitigation profile.
What we see locally
An old Pueblo house has usually been modified several times — a cellar partially slabbed over, an addition built on its own footing, a porch enclosed. Each of those transitions is a joint in the foundation, and joints are where soil gas enters. A visual inspection will not tell you the level in a house like that; a 48-hour measurement will.
