Radon Testing Services in Boulder, CO for Peace of Mind
Protect Your Home from Boulder’s Silent Health Risk
Radon gas is odorless, colorless—and surprisingly common in Boulder. Caused by natural uranium in the soil, this radioactive gas can seep into basements and living spaces undetected. Our professional radon testing in Boulder helps you understand your home’s risk and take action if levels are elevated. Whether you're buying, selling, or just want to ensure a safe environment, this simple test can make a lasting impact.
Why Radon Matters in Boulder
Boulder’s foothill geography and dense rock formations make it a known radon zone. In fact, many homes here—especially those with basements—test above the EPA’s action level. That’s why radon testing is often recommended (or required) during real estate transactions and home inspections.
- Health Risks: Long-term exposure to high radon levels is the second leading cause of lung cancer
- Real Estate Readiness: Buyers often request test results; early testing puts you ahead
- Local Data: Boulder County has a history of elevated radon readings, especially in older or hillside homes

Schedule Your Radon TestFrequently Asked Questions
Is radon really a concern in Boulder?
Yes. Boulder is considered a high-risk area by the EPA. Many homes test above the safe level of 4.0 pCi/L.
Can I test for radon myself?
DIY kits exist, but they’re often less accurate and take longer. Our continuous monitors provide quicker, more detailed results.
What if radon levels are high?
Mitigation systems can reduce radon levels significantly. If your test is high, we’ll recommend next steps with trusted local pros.
Do I need to leave the house during testing?
No, but we do ask that you maintain “closed house conditions” (minimal window/door use) for 48 hours to ensure accurate readings.
