Your qualified company for radon and indoor air quality services
What is radon?
Radon is an invisible, odorless, tasteless, radioactive gas that can pose a serious health risk at high levels. Radon gas comes from the natural breakdown of uranium found in soils, rock, and water in CO, and every state in the U.S. Calhan is in "Zone 1" with a potential for high radon levels (U.S. Environmental Protection Agency).
Why should you test for radon?
Radon can seep through the soil, into the air, and through cracks and openings in home foundations. Homes trap radon in living spaces, where it may build up to dangerous levels. The only way to know if your home has a radon problem is to test. Don't wait to find out if you've got a radon problem in your home. Purple Mountain Radon is a qualified Calhan radon contractor in the National Radon Defense network, providing expert radon testing, radon mitigation, and indoor air quality services.

Earlier this year (2023) we mitigated a house in Calhan, CO. The original part of the home was built in the 1940's while the new addition was built in the early 2000's. Because the home had two separate basement systems, where one of those basements had a sump pump and exterior drain tile, the other did not. We originally planned to install a perimeter drain tile depressurization system (from the new addition) and connect with the sub-slab depressurization system (from the original side of the home). The risers from both extraction points would then connect in the attic and have a single fan treat both areas.
On the day of installation, however, the home owner suggested a mitigation system using the sump pit (located in the basement) instead of digging down to the footing to reach the drain tile. He directed us to the location where the plumbing went through the basement sub-floor and inside the bathroom wall where the shower plumbing was located. We drilled through thefloor and inserted the pipe through the wall and up into the attic. Unfortunately the trusses used for the vaulted ceiling left very little room to safely traverse the attic between the old side and new side of the home.
We ultimately installed a sump depressurization system that went up through the bathroom wall from the basement. But instead of traversing the attic as we originally planned, we installed a second radon fan and penetrated the roof.
