Understanding Radon in Fort Collins

Geographical and Environmental Factors

The Front Range sits on granite and uranium-bearing rock. As it breaks down underground, radon moves up through soil and into homes through foundation cracks, sump pits, and gaps around pipes — and your neighbor’s result tells you nothing about yours.

Timing matters too: levels are usually highest in January and February when the house is sealed up, so a summer test may understate what you’re breathing the rest of the year.

Older, complex foundations

Areas such as Old Town and Harmony Corridor, known for historic homes and diverse soils, often require specialized radon mitigation strategies to combat potential risks. Old Town homes in particular tend to have unusual combinations of crawlspaces and basements, and many have been renovated multiple times over multiple decades — which makes mitigation more complex than a standard new-build home.

Evergreen RCS is well-versed in navigating these older, layered foundations.

2005 Radon Mandate

Fort Collins was the first city in Colorado to mandate passive radon systems in new homes, so if yours is in city limits and built after 2005, it should have one — but not all do. Homes built in the first few years after the code took effect sometimes have systems that weren’t installed correctly and need remedial work.

The good news: when a home already has an existing passive system, bringing it up to standard is usually quicker and more affordable than starting from scratch.

What It Costs

Most residential systems run $1,200 to $1,500. Whether you already have a passive system in place, have a crawlspace to seal, or have other unique features to your home can all move that number. Ask when you call, and we'll walk you through what applies to your house and make sure you're getting fair pricing for the work.

Buying or selling a house?

Radon testing is standard in Colorado real estate transactions and usually lands in the inspection period with a closing date already attached. A valid short term test takes 2-3 days in closed house conditions, so it can’t be compressed. If you’re working against a deadline, say so when you call and we’ll tell you what we can do.

Your Radon Mitigation Questions Answered

Here are our most frequently asked questions regarding radon mitigation, but feel free to reach out if you have any additional ones.

You test for it. Radon has no smell, no color, and no visible sign, so you can’t sense it, and you can’t guess it from the age of the house, the neighborhood, or what your neighbor’s test showed. Testing is the only way to know for sure what you’re breathing.



Not necessarily. A newer, tighter home doesn’t mean lower radon risk. Tighter construction traps more of whatever radon comes in, since there’s less natural air exchange to dilute it. New builds in Fort Collins should have a passive system in place already, but a passive system alone often isn’t enough to keep levels down. Adding a fan turns it into an active system, pulling radon out from under the house before it has a chance to build up indoors.

No. The 4.0 action level is just the point where it’s worth doing something about it as the risk itself builds up over years of exposure, not overnight. Evergreen Radon Mitigation can install a system, then retest to confirm it’s working, and you’re set.

Yes. Every couple of years is a good rule of thumb, since radon levels can shift over time as soil conditions change or a house settles. You’ll also want to retest sooner after any foundation work, finishing a basement, or a major HVAC change, since any of those can open new entry points or change how air moves through your home.
