Radon Mitigation and Testing in Broomfield

Radon Mitigation and Testing in Broomfield, Colorado

Every property in the city and county of Broomfield should be tested for radon. As a unique city-county jurisdiction in EPA Zone 1, Broomfield faces the same elevated radon risk that affects communities across Colorado’s Front Range.

SWAT Environmental specializes in radon remediation, helping property owners minimize this health hazard through professionally designed systems.

Understanding the Risks of High Radon Levels in Broomfield, CO

Radon presents a significant environmental health risk in Broomfield, CO. Annually, over 21,000 Americans, including approximately 500 Coloradans, die from radon-induced lung cancer, making it the leading cause of lung cancer among non-smokers and the second leading cause overall.

Broomfield County is designated an EPA Zone 1 area, indicating predicted average indoor radon levels surpassing 4.0 picocuries per liter (pCi/L). This issue is widespread in Colorado, with about 50% of tested homes exhibiting radon levels above the EPA’s action threshold. Understanding these risks is crucial for making informed decisions regarding radon testing and mitigation.

What Is Radon?

Uranium breaks down naturally in Colorado soil, producing radon gas that migrates upward. This radioactive gas enters buildings wherever openings exist — through cracks in concrete slabs, around pipe penetrations, at foundation seams and through basement floor drains. Because radon lacks color, odor and taste, only testing reveals its presence.

At SWAT Environmental, we are dedicated to protecting families in Denver from radon exposure. Through our radon remediation process, our radon mitigation technicians have installed radon mitigation systems that reduce radon gas and make the air you breathe safer. Also, see our radon testing kits!
