Radon Testing
There are two types of testing that we offer:
One is a DIY test kit. This kit is a Liquid Scintillation Short-Term Radon Test Kit by AccuStar, a 2-4-day radon-in-air test kit. The kit includes one test vial, analysis, and return postage within the U.S.A. Usually, results are emailed within 5-7 days.
We also offer a DIY test kit with your
Free In-Home Estimate for $30.
The second is a CRM (Continuous Radon Monitor). This test is a 2-3-day long process that will give you 48 radon measurements over a continuous two-day period. The data can then be used as a tool to decide whether or not a radon mitigation system is necessary. If you want to get your home tested quickly, this is the best way to go about it. That test is about $150; however, you will need to contact the home inspector to get a more accurate quote.
Here is the information for the home inspectors that we use:

We supply a free post-mitigation test. Before setting up the test, it is best to let the radon mitigation system work for one week after installation. Directions are supplied in the kit, and your invoice has a link.
Remember, we're here to support you every step of the way. If you have any additional questions or would like to schedule a test for your home, please don't hesitate to contact us. We're always ready to provide professional assistance, ensuring you feel confident and reassured in your decision to test for radon.
*All estimates must include a free in-home assessment. No estimates are available over the phone.
Colorado Has High Levels of Radon
Here is a map of Radon zones from the EPA. Most of Northern Colorado is in Zone 1. Zone 1 counties have a predicted average indoor radon screening level greater than 4 pCi/L (picocuries per liter) (red zones). The south/western part of Colorado is in Zone 2. Zone 2 counties have a predicted average indoor radon screening level between 2 and 4 pCi/L (orange zones).
What to Do Next
The EPA recommends that if you have a result of 4 pCi/L or higher, a follow-up test confirms whether mitigation is recommended. If levels are 10 pCi/L or higher, a second short-term test should be administered by a professional as soon as possible. If you are in the Northern Colorado area, contact us about either testing or mitigation or if you fear you have high levels of radon.
