What Is Radon?
Radon is a naturally occurring radioactive gas that forms from the breakdown of uranium in soil and rock. It enters homes through foundation cracks, crawl spaces, sump pits, and other openings.
Because radon is colorless, odorless, and invisible, many homeowners do not realize it is present until testing is performed.
According to the EPA, radon exposure is the second leading cause of lung cancer in the United States.
Why Radon Testing Matters in Douglas County
Many homes throughout Douglas County and the southern Denver metro area have elevated radon levels due to Colorado’s geology and soil conditions.
Even neighboring homes can produce completely different radon test results, which means every property should be tested individually.
