Basement slabs will have cutouts to provide tubs access to sewer lines.  These cutouts have exposed soil and are radon entry points into the home. We fill these areas with expanding foam to seal it off.

This crawlspace a damaged vapor barrier that covered the dirt floor only and did not seal against foundation wall.  We installed a new vapor barrier and sealed against the foundation wall.  Note: the after photo shows the new vapor barrier installation prior to installing the radon riser and returning the insulation to foundation wall.

Qualified radon mitigation company in Colorado Springs

Colorado Springs is a high-risk radon zone

Radon gas is an invisible, odorless, tasteless, radioactive substance that can pose a serious health risk if there are high concentrations inside the home or building. While radon gas can impact homes all over the country, Colorado Springs is in "Zone 1" with a potential for high radon levels, according to the United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). In fact, 50% of all Colorado homes have high radon levels, according to the CO Department of Public Health & Environment. And since radon is one of the leading causes of lung cancer, you don't want to wait to find out if you've got high radon levels in your home!

Causes of radon gas in Colorado Springs, CO homes

Radon gas comes from the natural breakdown of uranium found in soils, rocks, and water. And while high radon levels are a problem in every state across the U.S., Colorado is considered a higher risk, as it falls within "Zone 1" of areas with increased radon levels, according to the EPA. Radon gas can seep through the soil, into the air, and through cracks and openings in building and home foundations. Properties trap radon in living spaces, where it may build up to dangerous levels, leading to an increased risk of lung cancer and other health problems.

Since the gas is odorless, tasteless, and invisible, the only way to know if your Colorado Springs home has high levels is to schedule a radon test.

Thorough radon testing in Colorado Springs

The American Lung Association recommends that all homes and properties get radon testing to check for high radon levels. Since the gas is odorless, tasteless, and invisible, a radon test is the only reliable way to identify the gas in a home or building. This is especially important in Colorado Springs, as this area is in "Zone 1" at being at a higher risk for increased concentrations of radon gas, according to the U.S. EPA.

At Purple Mountain Radon, we use a continuous radon detector to measure radon levels for 48 hours. Then, if the test shows elevated levels, we’ll recommend the best radon mitigation method to lower the concentrations in your home safely. Take the first step in protecting yourself and your family against radon exposure by scheduling a radon test today!

Expert radon mitigation systems & inspections in Colorado Springs

If a continuous radon detector identifies high radon levels in your home or building, you’ll need a radon mitigation system to reduce the concentrations of the gas. That's where Purple Mountain Radon can help! We’ll design and install a customized radon mitigation system for your property. And if your radon reduction system needs occasional maintenance, our specialists can check it to make sure the system is working correctly.

Look For Those Hidden Areas.

After pulling a stacked washer & dryer away from a basement wall, we found an access panel to the bathroom plumbing where there was quite a bit of exposed soil; exposed soil is potentially a high source of radon. A can of spray foam was used to seal the exposed soil (and the cracks and crevices around the foundation and tub) to reduce the amount radon gas emanating from the soil.

Breathe EZ Air Cleaner.
A client's radon level was slightly above the EPA's recommendation for mitigation of 4.0 pCi/L.  However, with a fully finished basement they didn't see an ideal location in the basement for a mitigation system. So, I told him about the Breathe EZ Air Cleaner. He was excited about it, but wanted to know how it worked. The Breathe EZ Air Cleaner is an electronic filtration system that is easily inserted into the filter slot of the furnace. Not only does it filter for bacteria, viruses, and allergens, it also has a unique design that allows it to filter the radon gas radio-active particles when radon gas decays. There is an electronic instrument available that measures the radio-active particles, which is what I offered to use to conduct a test.   
 
We tested their basement for 4 days prior to installing the pre-Breathe EZ air cleaner, and then again for another 4 days after  installing the Breathe EZ air cleaner. Our pre-test results came back at 4.6 pCi/L with .002 WL (the WL unit of measurement measures how much decay product is in the air) and 5.5% Equilibrium Ratio. This equates to a .4 pCi/L. I told him that .4 pCi/L is what the average amount of radon gas is outdoors. I mentioned that they probably can’t get any better than that.  I told him that he really didn’t need a new filter with that result, but he insisted that we do the Breathe EZ post-test anyway. The post install results came back at 4.5 pCi/L, .001 WL and 2.5% ER. I was wrong, it could get better. Not only that, this client has a consumer grade indoor air quality sensor and told me that since the Breathe EZ filter had been installed, his VOC reading (which had been somewhat high) had been reduced to a normal range, also." 
 
Summary: ventilation does quite a bit to help reduce radon in the home. When running your air handler 24/7 in low-speed mode and in combination with a Breathe EZ air cleaner, you can significantly reduce the harmful effects caused by radon and radon decay products in your home. 
 
["The E-RPISU® (Electret Radon Progeny Integrating Sampling Unit) is powered by a low-flow-rate air
sampling pump that causes radon progeny to be deposited on a specialized filter paper. This filter
paper is integrated into an S chamber in such a way that the collected progeny ionizes the air inside the chamber. These negative ions are collected by a positively charged electret loaded into the S chamber,
causing the electret's voltage to drop; this reduction in voltage is proportional to the time-integrated radon progeny concentration." - Rad Elec, Inc.]
