Water Line Repiping

If you own a home in Longmont, there’s an invisible risk you can’t afford to ignore: radon gas. It has no smell, no color, and no taste, yet it’s the second leading cause of lung cancer in the United States, according to the EPA. And because much of Colorado sits in a high-radon zone, testing here isn’t optional peace of mind. It’s smart homeownership.

Our Radon Mitigation Services in Longmont

Radon is a naturally occurring radioactive gas. It forms as uranium in soil and rock breaks down, then seeps up through foundation cracks, floor joints, sump pits, and crawl spaces. Once inside, it can build up to unsafe levels, especially in basements and lower floors where air is close to the ground.

The EPA measures radon in picocuries per liter (pCi/L) and recommends taking action at levels of 4.0 pCi/L or higher. But because there’s no truly “safe” level of radon gas, many homeowners choose to reduce it even further. The only way to know your home’s level is to test, you can’t see, smell, or taste radon, and elevated exposure produces no immediate symptom

Radon Testing and Assessment

Every good mitigation plan starts with accurate radon testing. In Longmont, CO, we offer both short-term and long-term testing along with digital monitoring for a clear picture of what’s happening in your home.

Short-term tests give quick results, often used during real estate transactions.
Long-term tests measure over 90+ days for a truer year-round average.
Digital monitors track levels continuously and catch seasonal swings.

Sub-Slab Depressurization Systems

When every drain in the house slows down at once, or you notice gurgling and drain odors, the problem is usually in the main line. Main drain line cleaning often means clearing tree roots, grease, or a blocked cleanout before the whole system backs up.

Our rooter service uses powerful machines to cut through roots and break up heavy blockages deep in the sewer line. For homes on Longmont’s older tree-lined streets, root intrusion is one of the most common reasons a main line fails, and a rooter is often the fastest fix.

Radon Mitigation System Installation

Our radon mitigation installation in Longmont is done to code and built to last. During installation we:

Confirm the ideal suction point locations.
Seal foundation cracks and openings that let radon in.
Install vent piping routed discreetly through the home or along the exterior.
Mount and wire the radon fan to meet electrical requirements.
Vent above the roofline for safe discharge.

For homes with a dirt crawl space, we install a vapor barrier and use crawl space depressurization plus ventilation improvements to achieve reliable radon removal in Longmont.

Ongoing Radon Monitoring and Maintenance

Installing a radon mitigation system in Longmont is only half the job. After installation, we perform post-mitigation testing to confirm your levels have dropped. We also offer system inspections and maintenance, checking fan performance, monitor readings, and seals, so your investment keeps protecting your family for years.

What Affects Radon Mitigation Costs?

Homeowners often ask about radon mitigation system installation cost in Longmont, CO. The honest answer: it depends. Pricing varies based on:

Foundation type (basement vs. crawl space)
Home size and layout
Existing radon levels
Number of suction points needed
Vent pipe routing and radon fan selection
Electrical requirements and accessibility

Radon Mitigation FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions About Radon Mitigation in Longmont, CO

Radon mitigation removes radioactive gas from your home before it enters living spaces. Since Longmont sits in EPA Zone 1 (highest radon potential) and radon is the second leading cause of lung cancer, mitigation protects your family’s health by lowering indoor levels below the 4.0 pCi/L action level.

Sub-slab depressurization creates suction points beneath your concrete foundation and routes PVC piping above the roofline. A continuous radon fan pulls gas from under the slab before it enters your home, extending pressure across the entire foundation to safely vent radon outside.

Most radon mitigation system installations in Longmont are completed in a single day, depending on your home’s foundation type and layout. Our licensed technicians work efficiently while maintaining code compliance and cleanliness.

Yes. For homes with dirt crawl spaces, we install vapor barriers and use crawl space depressurization combined with ventilation improvements to achieve effective radon removal in Longmont without a basement slab.

If your test reads at or above 4.0 pCi/L, the EPA recommends mitigation. Contact a licensed professional for a free on-site assessment and custom system design. We also offer post-mitigation testing to confirm your levels have dropped safely.

Radon mitigation costs typically aren’t covered by standard homeowners insurance as it’s considered a maintenance issue. Check your specific policy and Colorado health programs for potential rebates or grants related to indoor air quality improvements.
