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. Fountain 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 Fountain radon contractor in the National Radon Defense network, providing expert radon testing, radon mitigation, and indoor air quality services.

-
Why they needed a radon mitigation system: The homeowner in Fountain, CO discovered elevated radon levels after testing his home, which included a crawl space and slab with a newer addition, posing a potential health risk.
-
Why the customer chose the company: Purple Mountain Radon was selected for their expertise, innovative approach to crawl space mitigation, and proven track record with Sub-Soil Depressurization systems.
-
What's causing the problem: Radon was entering the home through the crawl space soil beneath the floor, particularly in the area of the new addition, creating elevated indoor radon levels.
-
How We Fixed the Problem (Mitigation Process):
-
Designed a Sub-Soil Depressurization system using a RadonWell installed beneath the crawl space floor.
-
Created a void beneath the floor to efficiently pull out soil gases without the need for encapsulation.
-
Verified airtightness with smoke-pen testing to ensure no leaks were present.
-
Routed piping from the RadonWell to the exterior radon fan for continuous ventilation.
-
Installed monitoring equipment, including a manometer, to track system performance.
-
-
What's unique about this situation: The home’s crawl space required a specialized RadonWell approach instead of a standard sub-slab system, allowing effective mitigation without full encapsulation while accommodating the newer addition.
This Fountain home was constructed in 1889 where floor joists were built directly onto the ground. A basement was later added which created a void area. Approximately 10' of this area adjacent to this basement was exposed just enough to encapsulate.
