You cannot smell radon, see it, or guess it from your neighbor's result. A house in Aberdeen tested at 2.1 the same week a nearly identical one four blocks over hit 9.6. Pueblo County sits in EPA Zone 1, the highest radon potential the agency maps, and the state estimates about half of Colorado homes exceed the 4.0 pCi/L action level. Those odds are a coin flip. Test.
The Pueblo Department of Public Health & Environment offers free test kits each January during National Radon Action Month, and we'll never talk you out of a free kit. Where we earn our $135 is when the result has to stand up to scrutiny.
We place a calibrated continuous radon monitor, a CRM, in the lowest lived-in level of your home. For 48 hours it logs radon hourly, along with temperature, pressure, and tilt, so the report shows if a window got opened or the device got moved. You get the hourly graph, the EPA-protocol average, and a signed report from a licensed measurement professional.
When people need us instead of a kit: real estate transactions (buyers, sellers, and relocation companies), post-mitigation verification on a system another company installed, landlord documentation, daycare licensing, and the folks who got a scary kit result and want a real answer before writing a check. Marcus runs the test fleet and keeps every monitor's calibration certificate in a binder in the gray Transit. Ask to see it, he loves that.
| Your result | What we'd tell you |
|---|---|
| Under 2.0 pCi/L | You're fine. Retest in two years or after major remodeling. |
| 2.0 – 3.9 | Below the action level, but the EPA says consider fixing above 2.0. Worth a winter retest, since levels run higher when the house is closed up. |
| 4.0 – 8.0 | Fix it. Not an emergency, but don't ride another heating season on it. Mitigation gets you under 4.0, guaranteed. |
| Over 8.0 | Call us this week. We prioritize high-level installs, and levels in the teens and twenties are more common in Pueblo County than anyone likes to admit. |
A professional test runs a minimum of 48 hours under closed-house conditions. We drop the monitor off, it logs hourly readings, we pick it up two days later and email your report, usually the same evening.
$135 flat for a professional CRM test. The county's charcoal kits in January are free, and a decent hardware store kit is $15 to $30. The difference is documentation: our report holds up in a real estate transaction, a kit result doesn't.
Absolutely, and for a first look we encourage it. If the kit says you're under 2, relax and retest in a couple of years or after any big renovation. If it says anything 4.0 or above, confirm with a professional test before spending mitigation money. We'd rather you spend $135 confirming than $1,200 guessing.
Yes. New construction in Pueblo County often includes a passive radon rough-in, but passive systems don't always keep levels down without a fan, and plenty of new builds test above 4.0. One of the highest readings we logged last year was a house built in 2023.
