Understanding Radon in Severance

Local geology

Severance sits in EPA Radon Zone 1, the highest-risk category, where predominantly clay and sandy soils necessitate careful radon monitoring and intervention.

How it gets in

Radon moves up through soil and into homes through foundation cracks, sump pits, and gaps around pipes.

Winter peaks

Levels usually peak in January and February, when houses are sealed up, so a summer test may understate your year-round exposure.

Neighborhood Dynamics

Neighborhoods like Hidden Valley and Sunset Ridge face unique radon risks due to the mix of new developments and existing infrastructure, highlighting the need for effective mitigation.

New construction

Most Severance homes are recent builds, and their tight, energy-efficient design can hold radon in once it enters. Even brand-new homes in the same Severance subdivision can have very different radon levels, so testing your own home is the only way to know where you stand.

Local experience

Evergreen RCS has mitigated homes of every age and foundation type across Severance, from historic properties to brand-new builds.

Already have a passive system? Upgrading it is usually faster and more affordable than a new install.

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.

Radon is a naturally occurring radioactive gas that is produced by the breakdown of uranium in soil, rock, and water. It is invisible, odorless, and tasteless, which makes it difficult to detect without specialized equipment. The primary health concern associated with radon is its potential to cause lung cancer. In fact, radon is the second leading cause of lung cancer after smoking. Long-term exposure to high levels of radon can significantly increase the risk for lung cancer, making it a significant public health concern. Radon gas enters buildings through cracks and openings in the foundation and can accumulate to unsafe levels, particularly in areas with poor ventilation. Given the high prevalence of radon in many areas, testing homes and buildings for radon is crucial to ensure safe living conditions. Fortunately, there are effective methods to reduce radon levels in buildings, commonly referred to as radon mitigation.

Testing for radon in your home is a straightforward process, and there are several options available to homeowners. One common method is to use a DIY radon test kit, which can be purchased from home improvement stores or online. These kits typically include a small canister or vial that you place in the lowest lived-in level of your home, such as the basement or first floor, for a specified period, usually between 2 to 90 days. After the test period, you send the canister to a lab for analysis. Another option is to hire a certified radon measurement professional. These professionals use more sophisticated equipment, such as continuous radon monitors, which provide more accurate and detailed results over a shorter testing period. Hiring a professional is particularly advisable if you are buying or selling a home, as it ensures reliable results. Regardless of the method you choose, testing is the only way to know if your home has a radon problem.

Quality radon fans produce 40-55 decibels at the unit, comparable to a quiet refrigerator or background conversation. Proper installation with vibration isolation and strategic placement minimizes noise transmission into living areas, and some homeowners report not noticing the sound at all.

Excessive noise typically results from poor fan mounting without vibration isolation, undersized pipes creating air turbulence, or a failing fan bearing. A qualified technician can diagnose whether the noise stems from installation issues or equipment problems needing correction.

Yes, radon levels can increase over time due to a variety of factors. Changes in building structure, such as new cracks in the foundation, renovations, or changes in ventilation, can alter how radon enters a home. Seasonal variations can also impact radon levels, as colder weather increases the pressure difference between the interior and exterior of a house, typically drawing more radon inside. Moreover, changes in soil structure around the home or new construction nearby can potentially increase radon entry. Therefore, it is advised to periodically test radon levels in a home, even if previous testing showed low levels. Routine testing ensures that any increase in radon levels is detected early and addressed promptly to maintain a safe living environment.

All penetrations through floors, walls, and the roof are sealed with appropriate caulks, expanding foam, rubber boots, or specialized flashing depending on the material and location. Proper sealing prevents water intrusion and ensures radon doesn’t leak back into the home.

The time it takes to install a radon mitigation system depends on the complexity of the job and the size of the home, but it generally ranges from a few hours to a full day. The initial step is a thorough inspection of your home to determine the optimal mitigation strategy. Once the plan is set, installation of the system typically takes place within one to two days. After the system is installed, follow-up testing is necessary to ensure that the desired radon level reduction has been achieved. Typically, this post-installation testing can take an additional day or two, especially if a short-term testing device is used. While this process might take a bit of time, it is crucial for ensuring the effectiveness of the mitigation system in maintaining a radon-safe environment in your home.

Wait at least 24 hours after system activation before beginning a radon test to allow conditions to stabilize, though 48-72 hours is often recommended. Run a short-term test (2-7 days) initially, followed by a long-term test for more comprehensive verification.

Once installed, radon mitigation systems generally require minimal maintenance. However, it is crucial to conduct regular checks to ensure the system’s continued effectiveness. Fans used in active systems typically run continuously and have a lifespan of about five to ten years, depending on make and model. These fans may occasionally need to be replaced to maintain their efficiency in reducing radon levels. Regular inspection of the system to ensure that there is no visible damage to the vent pipes or seals and that the fan is operating correctly is essential. Monitoring the system’s readouts, when applicable, and conducting follow-up radon tests periodically will help verify that your home remains safe from radon accumulation. Professional inspections and servicing are recommended if you notice any issues or changes in system performance.
