Radon Facts

Radon gas is a colorless, odorless, and tasteless radioactive gas that can enter buildings through cracks and gaps in the foundation and accumulate to dangerous levels, increasing the risk of lung cancer. The EPA estimates that radon is responsible for approximately 21,000 lung cancer deaths each year in the United States alone. Testing for radon and implementing effective radon mitigation strategies is critical in protecting your family’s health and ensuring a safe home environment.

FAQ About Radon Testing

Let our Colorado Radon Company experts answer any further questions you may have about radon testing.

Radon mitigation refers to any process used to reduce elevated radon levels in a building to an acceptable concentration. The most common and effective method is sub-slab depressurization (SSD), which uses a pipe and fan system to draw radon from beneath the foundation and vent it safely outside. Mitigation systems are highly effective and can reduce indoor radon levels by up to 99% in many cases.

When radon decays, it produces radioactive “progeny” or “daughters,” including polonium, lead, and bismuth. These particles attach to dust and other airborne particles, and when inhaled, they deposit directly onto lung tissue. The alpha radiation emitted by these particles damages DNA in lung cells, which over time can lead to mutations and the development of lung cancer.

Radon mitigation systems require minimal maintenance, but periodic checks are important to ensure they are operating correctly. You should visually inspect the system regularly to confirm the fan is running, and most systems include a manometer or visual indicator that shows whether suction is being maintained. Annual radon testing is strongly recommended to verify that the system continues to keep levels below the EPA action level.

Radon is measured in picocuries per liter of air, commonly abbreviated as pCi/L. This unit represents the rate of radioactive decay per liter of air and is the standard measurement used in the United States.

Radon exists in virtually every part of the world at some level, as uranium is present in varying concentrations throughout the earth’s crust. Outdoor radon levels are generally very low and considered harmless because the gas disperses quickly into the open air. However, indoor radon levels can accumulate to dangerous concentrations depending on local geology, building construction, and ventilation.

Short-term tests measure radon levels over a period of 2 to 90 days, with many charcoal canister tests running for just 2 to 7 days.

Long-term tests measure radon over 90 days or more, typically using alpha track detectors, and provide a more accurate representation of average annual exposure. Short-term tests are useful for quick screening or real estate transactions, while long-term tests give a better picture of ongoing risk.

There is no completely “safe” level of radon exposure, which is why keeping levels as low as possible is always the goal. The EPA recommends taking action if radon levels reach 4 pCi/L (picocuries per liter) or higher, and considers levels between 2–4 pCi/L worth addressing as well. The national average indoor radon level is 1.3 pCi/L, while the outdoor average is about 0.4 pCi/L.

Radon does not technically “fail” a home inspection in the traditional sense, but elevated results above the EPA action level of 4 pCi/L are often flagged as a significant finding. This finding can delay closing, trigger renegotiation, or require the seller to install mitigation before the sale can proceed. The outcome depends on the terms of the purchase agreement and how the buyer and seller choose to handle the issue.

Yes, radon can enter a home through water, particularly from private wells that draw from groundwater sources in contact with uranium-bearing rock. When radon-containing water is used for showering, washing dishes, or running faucets, the gas is released into the indoor air.

However, the EPA estimates that waterborne radon contributes far less to overall indoor radon levels than soil gas entry, accounting for only about 1–2% of total indoor radon in most cases.

The Radon Challenge in Aurora

Aurora’s distinct geological features contribute to radon presence, a hazardous gas responsible for respiratory issues, including lung cancer. Understanding and addressing radon is critical for Aurora homeowners.

Assessing Radon Levels in Aurora

Homes in Aurora often record high radon levels due to the region’s soil and bedrock structure. Regular testing is vital for preserving indoor air quality and safety.

Efforts to Raise Radon Awareness

The Aurora community actively promotes radon awareness through outreach programs and educational workshops, helping residents understand the importance of testing and mitigation.

Testing and Mitigation Importance

In Aurora, consistent radon testing is necessary for early detection and response. By identifying elevated levels early, residents can take swift action to protect their families’ health.
