Radon is a naturally occurring radioactive gas that can enter homes through foundation cracks and soil gaps. Long-term exposure to elevated radon levels may increase the risk of lung cancer, making professional testing important for homeowners.

The only reliable way to determine radon levels is through professional testing. Many homes throughout Northern Colorado may contain elevated radon concentrations without visible warning signs or noticeable odors.

Most standard radon tests require a monitoring period of approximately 48 hours to gather accurate indoor air quality readings and determine whether mitigation may be necessary.

Radon remediation typically involves installing a mitigation system that safely redirects radon gas away from the home using specialized ventilation methods designed to lower indoor radon concentrations.
