Radon Testing & Mitigation in Security-Widefield, CO
Security-Widefield is unincorporated El Paso County just south of Colorado Springs, built out largely in the 1950s and 1960s to house Fort Carson families. That single fact about its history tells you most of what you need to know about its radon profile.
Why radon behaves the way it does in Security-Widefield
The ground underneath
The area sits on terrace deposits and alluvium along the Fountain Creek corridor, over the same regional formations found throughout the southern county. El Paso County is EPA Radon Zone 1 throughout, and Security-Widefield is no exception.
The housing here
The core of the neighbourhood is mid-century ranch housing on concrete block or early poured foundations, most with full basements. Sixty- and seventy-year-old foundations have had decades to settle, and settling is what opens the entry points radon uses: floor-to-wall cove joints, shrinkage cracks in the slab, unsealed utility penetrations, and open sump pits. The newer Widefield build-out adds more recent slab and full-basement homes with a different but equally testable profile.
What we see locally
Many basements here were finished informally over the decades — panelled walls, dropped ceilings, carpet over the original slab. Finished basements hide the cracks and joints where radon enters, which makes visual assessment unreliable and makes measurement the only meaningful diagnostic. It also means a mitigation system has to be routed with the existing finish in mind, not by opening up walls.
