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 testing is strongly recommended as part of any home purchase and is required by law in some states. Buyers should request radon testing during the inspection period, as elevated levels can be a negotiating factor and should be disclosed by sellers in many jurisdictions. Discovering and addressing a radon problem before closing protects both the buyer’s health and their financial investment.

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.

If your test results show levels below 2 pCi/L, no immediate action is needed, though periodic retesting is still recommended. Levels between 2 and 4 pCi/L fall in a gray zone where the EPA suggests considering mitigation, especially for long-term occupants. Results at or above 4 pCi/L call for prompt action, including a follow-up test to confirm and then installation of a radon mitigation system.

Radon can be a concern in apartments, particularly those on lower floors or at ground level. Units above the third floor generally have lower risk because they are farther from the source of radon in the soil. Tenants on the first or second floor, especially those with direct contact with a basement or slab foundation, should consider testing if their landlord has not already done so.

Most radon mitigation systems can be installed in a single day by a certified contractor. The installation process typically involves drilling one or more suction points through the foundation slab, installing PVC piping routed to the exterior of the home, and mounting an inline fan in an attic, garage, or exterior wall. After installation, a post-mitigation test should be conducted within 24 to 30 days to confirm that radon levels have been reduced below 4 pCi/L.

Yes, radon levels fluctuate based on several factors, including seasonal changes, barometric pressure, soil moisture, and building conditions. Levels are typically higher in winter when homes are sealed tightly and lower in summer when more ventilation occurs. This is one reason why long-term testing – lasting 90 days or more – provides a more accurate picture of actual exposure than short-term tests.

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.

Because radon is invisible and odorless, testing is the only way to know whether your home has elevated levels. The EPA and the Surgeon General recommend that all homes below the third floor be tested, regardless of location or construction type. Early detection gives homeowners the opportunity to take corrective action before long-term health consequences develop.

Radon testing should be conducted in the lowest livable area of your home, as radon concentrations are highest near ground level. If you have a finished basement that you use regularly, test there first. For homes without a usable basement, testing should take place on the first floor, typically in a frequently occupied room like a bedroom or living area.
