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. Cripple Creek 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 Cripple Creek radon contractor in the National Radon Defense network, providing expert radon testing, radon mitigation, and indoor air quality services.
