Fremont County testing and mitigation, from antique row to the orchard lots.

Florence's calling card is antiques, and half the town's housing qualifies too: solid early-1900s brick and frame houses along the Main Street grid with cellars that were dug by hand and never meant to be lived in. Those cellars are radon collectors. Stone walls, dirt or rough-poured floors, and a century of settling cracks give soil gas a dozen doors in. We've pulled readings in the teens from houses whose owners assumed the cellar didn't count because nobody sleeps down there. If the furnace is down there, the air comes up.
Old-house mitigation is its own craft. We've sealed hand-laid stone to membrane, run pipe up through original pantry cabinets, and put fans in attics framed with rough-cut lumber older than the county fairgrounds. It takes longer and we quote it honestly, usually toward the upper end of our published ranges, but the result is the same guaranteed number as a new build in Fountain.
Penrose is a different animal, orchard and acreage properties, manufactured homes on crawl spaces, and well water on many lots. Crawl space homes get sub-membrane systems, and well properties should ask about waterborne radon when they book a test. We're up the Highway 115 corridor regularly, so scheduling rides along with our Cañon City days.
