What is Radon?

Radon is a colorless, odorless, and tasteless gas that forms naturally in soil and rocks.

The bad news?

Radon is radioactive forms when uranium breaks down in rocks, soil, and water. As radon decays, it releases radioactive particles that can seep into your home through cracks and openings, posing a serious health risk to your family. The EPA estimates Radon is the second leading cause of lung cancer in the U.S. and is responsible for over 20,000 deaths per year. Pretty scary stuff. Radon levels are measured in picocuries per liter (pCi/L) of air and the EPA highly recommends taking action if your home’s radon levels are 4 pCi/L or higher.

The good news?

Radon remediation is possible by taking the following steps:

Radon Levels in Colorado

EPA data shows Colorado has some of the highest radon levels in the nation. In Colorado Springs, due to the geological composition, high radon levels are more common. The gas seeps into buildings through cracks in foundations, gaps around pipes, and other openings. Once inside, it can accumulate to dangerous levels, posing serious health risks to occupants. Here’s what you need to know:

Every Colorado county is in Radon Zone 1, meaning high potential for excessive radon levels.

41% of radon tests in El Paso County homes exceed the 4 pCi/L safety limit, according to data from the Colorado Department of Public Health & Environment.

Levels above 4 pCi/L are a serious in-home health hazard and must be remediated.

Whether you’re a homeowner, buyer, seller, real estate agent, or landlord, ensuring safe radon levels for your property must be a priority.

Colorado Senate Bill 23-206

Senate Bill 23-206 introduced rules that increase disclosure about radon levels in real estate transactions and rental agreements in order to protect the health of buyers and renters.

These new rules went into effect on August 7, 2023. What’s changed?

For home sales:

  • Sellers must disclose known radon test results and mitigation efforts.
  • Contracts must include a warning about radon risks and testing recommendations.

For rental properties:

  • Landlords must provide tenants with known radon test results and mitigation efforts before signing a lease.
  • Tenants can void leases if landlords fail to disclose or address unsafe radon levels.
  • Lease agreements must also include a warning about radon risks and testing recommendations.

Real Estate Agents

As an agent, you’re the expert buyers, sellers, and renters rely on, so you need to ensure radon disclosures are included in all contracts. You’ll have to work with sellers to gather existing radon test results and mitigation info. For buyers you’ll need to ensure they receive the state-mandated radon warning in their contracts. It’s also your job to help clients understand these new requirements. Staying on top of the latest radon testing and remediation practices will help you smoothly guide your clients through transactions and safeguard their health.

Remember, these new rules from Senate Bill 23-206 apply to both sales and rentals.

Radon FAQ

Radon is a colorless, odorless radioactive gas that forms naturally in soil. It can enter homes through cracks in foundations and become a health hazard if levels exceed 4 pCi/L. It is also the second leading cause of lung cancer in the US, after smoking, and long-term radon exposure increases your risk of developing lung cancer. Learn more here.

In general, a radon mitigation system draws radon gas from the soil and vents it safely outside, reducing indoor radon levels. An active radon mitigation system typically uses a fan to create negative pressure under your home’s foundation. Passive systems rely on air pressure differences and stack effect to lower radon levels. Radon can also dissolve in well water and enter a home through taps and showers. In this situation there are aeration and filtration systems that can treat water for radon abatement.

Active radon systems use an electric fan to continuously pull radon from beneath your home and vent it outside. They’re highly effective and work well for most homes.

Passive systems rely on natural air pressure differences and stack effect to draw radon out. They’re less effective but don’t use electricity.

Active systems are typically the go-to choice for existing homes, as they provide more reliable radon reduction, faster results, and better performance across varying weather conditions.However, the right system for your situation depends on finding the right balance between effectiveness, cost, and maintenance for your specific needs.

The cost of a radon mitigation system is highly dependent on several factors, including the type of property being treated, the level of radon that needs to be mitigation, and the type of system that is being installed. However, a radon mitigation system installation will generally cost between a several hundred and a couple thousand dollars. Read our guide to learn more about radon mitigation system cost in Colorado Springs.

There are several types of radon mitigation systems, each designed for specific home structures and radon levels:

  • Sub-slab depressurization: Very common, uses pipes and a fan to create negative pressure under the foundation. This system works well for homes with basements or slab-on-grade foundations.
  • Drain tile suction: Taps into existing drain tile or French drain systems and is effective for homes with high water tables.
  • Sump pit suction: Uses your existing sump pit to draw radon from the soil and can be great for homes already equipped with sump pumps
  • Block wall suction: Designed for homes with hollow block foundation walls and is designed to remove radon that collects in wall cavities
  • Crawl space encapsulation: Seals the crawl space floor with a heavy-duty plastic barrier, and is often combined with a radon venting system

Our systems are designed to blend in. For example, you might see a small pipe and fan outside, but our installers aim to maintain the aesthetics of your home.

Regular radon testing is crucial, as levels can fluctuate over time due to factors like seasonal changes and home renovations. We recommend annual testing to maintain a safe living environment and ensure the continued effectiveness of any installed radon mitigation systems.
