Why Boulder Residents Search for 'Radon Testing'
Boulder sits in one of Colorado’s EPA-designated Zone 1 areas—meaning radon levels here can be some of the highest in the country. Radon is a radioactive gas that seeps into homes and commercial buildings through cracks and soil contact points. You can’t see it or smell it, but long-term exposure is the second leading cause of lung cancer.
Whether you’re buying a home in Table Mesa, renting a basement apartment in North Boulder, or evaluating office space in Gunbarrel, radon testing gives you answers you can act on—or peace of mind.

Our Approach
Think of radon like smoke from an underground fire—you can’t see it, but it can fill your living space. We place a tamper-resistant monitor in the lowest livable area for 48 hours, keeping normal closed-house conditions in place.
Once the test is complete, we download and analyze the data—looking at peaks, dips, and averages. Then we explain it in plain English and let you know if mitigation is recommended.
How Much Does It Cost?
Radon testing is one of the most affordable ways to protect your health and investment. Pricing is straightforward and even more cost-effective when bundled with a home inspection or environmental screening.

| Multi-Family / Small Commercial | Basement office in North Boulder | $200–$300 |

Frequently Asked Questions
Is radon a real concern in Boulder?
Absolutely. Boulder is in a high-risk zone, and elevated levels are common even in newer homes or well-sealed buildings.
How long does a radon test take?
Standard testing lasts 48 hours. We use continuous radon monitors to collect hourly readings over that period.
What’s considered a “high” radon level?
The EPA recommends mitigation for any reading at or above 4.0 pCi/L. However, even levels between 2.0–4.0 may justify action depending on your exposure.
Do you install radon mitigation systems?
We don’t install systems directly, but we refer licensed, experienced radon mitigation professionals and can retest after installation to confirm success.
