Timnath has been a close knit community for decades and exemplifies Coloradan culture. For this reason, people have flocked to Timnath and the population continues to grow. With population growth comes construction projects and new housing. The town of Timnath may be changing, but the fertile soil and agriculture has stayed the same. This means that radon gas could be infiltrating both new and existing construction projects and homes requiring radon mitigation in Timnath.
Radon gas occurs naturally in the soil due to decaying uranium. Decayed uranium turns into radium which produces radon gas. Because Colorado has higher levels of uranium in soil than other parts of the country, we are especially at risk of radon gas exposure. According to the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment, 50% of homes in Colorado have high radon levels.
Unlike carbon monoxide, there is not a reliable in-home device that can warn you of dangerous levels. Regular testing and proper radon mitigation is the only certain way to limit the levels of radon gas to non harmful levels. American Radon LLC is one of Colorado’s leading companies for radon mitigation in Timnath. As well as the leading provider of mitigation systems for all types of homes, offices, and buildings.
Is Radon Gas Dangerous? How Is It Harmful?
Yes! Radon gas is the second leading cause of lung cancer behind smoking. It is odorless and completely invisible, making it incredibly difficult to prevent. It seeps into cracks and gaps of foundation and can get into every livable area of a home.
New construction projects are especially at risk since they may be building on top of soil that is already producing radon gas. The average level of radon gas in a home is 6.4pCi/L. If you lived in a home with that level for one year, it would have the same impact as 200 chest x-rays in one year. Because of little awareness, over 20,000 people die every year in the United States from radon caused lung cancer.

Do I Need To Test For Radon In A New Home?
Absolutely. Radon gas can linger and increase over time. Just because a homeowner did a test last year does not mean the home is completely safe from radon. Conducting a test is fairly simple and American Radon LLC is here to help.
Radon mitigation is Timnath is only a small portion of our mission. We strive to educate and inform the public about the dangers of radon gas which is why you can expect honest and reliable service from us.
We recommend to use the charcoal to measure radon gas as they are more accurate and do not require power. Simply place the test in the lowest livable space in your home. Think of a spot where people have access, but is close to the ground. Keep all external doors, windows, and vent closed for 48-72 hours.
What To Do If I Need Radon Mitigation in Timnath?
There are several options for radon mitigation in Timnath, including pre-installing a system in a newly constructed home or commercial building. It is never a question if a home will need radon mitigation, it is a matter of when. American Radon LLC can assess your property or building to determine the best possible solution. Some of the standard systems for radon mitigation in Timnath include:
- Sub-Slab Depressurisation
- As the most common system, this is what many will think of when they consider radon mitigation in Timnath. Suction below the basement forces radon gas out of the home through PVC piping.
- Drain Tile System
- If a home is equipped with a french drain system, a fan can be installed that goes around the building’s foundation. Many prefer this option as it puts the radon mitigation system outside of the building rather than feeding pipes all over.
- Sump Pump System
- If the building has a sump pump, it can be set up for the most efficient radon mitigation. Radon gas is drawn into the pit and funnel out of the home.
We are locally owned and operated by John and Tricia Cardos. We are highly trained and constantly learning new and innovative ways to keep people safe from radon gas just we do for our own family.
When building a new home or commercial building, a builder can have radon mitigation built in under a basement or under a radon vapor barrier in a crawl space. The builder can design the home with air tight connections throughout the framing of the house that can catch radon gas and make sure it escapes outside the building. However, it is best to consult with a professional radon team during this stage of building so you can be assured your system will work when you need it to with no additional work.
