Your qualified company for radon and indoor air quality services
What is radon?
Radon is an invisible, odorless, tasteless, radioactive gas that can pose a serious health risk at high levels. Radon gas comes from the natural breakdown of uranium found in soils, rock, and water in CO, and every state in the U.S. Cotopaxi is in "Zone 1" with a potential for high radon levels (U.S. Environmental Protection Agency).
Why should you test for radon?
Radon can seep through the soil, into the air, and through cracks and openings in home foundations. Homes trap radon in living spaces, where it may build up to dangerous levels. The only way to know if your home has a radon problem is to test. Don't wait to find out if you've got a radon problem in your home. Purple Mountain Radon is a qualified Cotopaxi radon contractor in the National Radon Defense network, providing expert radon testing, radon mitigation, and indoor air quality services.

1. Why they needed a radon mitigation system:
The homeowner discovered elevated radon levels and wanted to reduce the health risks associated with long-term exposure, especially since the home had a large crawlspace where radon could easily accumulate.
2. Why the customer chose the company:
They selected Purple Mountain Radon for their local knowledge, trusted reputation, and experience in designing solutions for crawlspaces with complex layouts.
3. What’s causing the problem:
Although the crawlspace was already encapsulated, the vapor barrier was not sealed to the foundation walls, allowing soil gases to escape into the home. The issue was further complicated by a continuous footing that divided the crawlspace into two separate chambers.
4. How we fixed the problem (Mitigation Process):
-
Installed a gas mat beneath the existing crawlspace liner to improve soil gas collection
-
Properly sealed the vapor barrier to the foundation walls to prevent radon leakage
-
Connected the gas mat to a depressurization system for consistent airflow
-
Designed the system to effectively manage both crawlspace chambers separated by the footing
5. What’s unique about this situation:
The presence of two isolated crawlspace chambers required a carefully planned system to ensure balanced depressurization, making this a more advanced crawlspace mitigation compared to standard installations.
Manufactured home in Cotopaxi with crawlspace. The crawlspace had a footing running all the way through the center of the crawlspace. Both sides of the crawlspace had to be individually encapsulated, sealed and depressurized. The two chambers of the crawlspace were connected the the main exhaust of the single radon mitigation system.
