Radon exposure can be a problem in any home in Fountain. Radon is a odorless, colorless gas that is released from decaying uranium in the ground soil. If a home is built on top of soil with elevated levels of radon, that gas can get into the living areas of the home and cause many potential health hazards. If you have elevated levels you will need to install a radon mitigation in Fountain system.
These systems can vary based on type but the most common include a fan that sucks up the gas and diverts above the roof of your structure. This will keep the harmful gas away from liveable areas and safely release it into the atmosphere. John Cardos is the owner and operator of American Radon, LLC who is licensed in radon mitigation through the ARSST/NRPP certification program. He is certified in radon mitigation from the University of Colorado in Colorado Springs.
The First Step Is Testing For Radon
The first step to finding out if your home has increased levels of radon is to get a radon test.
Charcoal test kits we have found to be the most reliable. The others on the market just are not as accurate. Even home inspectors testing equipment. These to be calibrated frequently and typically they are not. Without knowing the full history of the testing equipment there is no way to be assured that the test results are accurate.
If you do NOT have elevated levels of radon then you do not need to do anything except repeat the test annually. Due to the nature of radon gas being emitted from decaying materials in the soil, readings can change over time as the soil continues to age.

Many inspectors will use a continuous monitor or computer style test system. The downside to these is that if there is not meticulous upkeep and calibration to the units they can give false readings.

If a home has a test result comes back at 4.0 or above it is required in many locations in Colorado that it is disclosed to any and all potential buyers. At those levels a mitigation system will be recommend and it up to the buying and selling parties to negotiate how that will happen.
