Colorado Springs Neighborhoods We Serve

Colorado Springs sits in El Paso County in Colorado's Pikes Peak region. Colorado's statewide indoor radon average is 6.4 pCi/L — well above the EPA action level of 4.0 pCi/L and the U.S. average of 1.3 pCi/L. With Pikes Peak region geology and basement or slab housing common in Colorado Springs, EPA and Colorado health officials recommend every home be tested. If your test is 4.0 pCi/L or higher, mitigation is recommended; levels between 2 and 4 pCi/L are also worth addressing given Colorado's elevated background radon.

Closing-Timeline Questions Colorado Springs Buyers + Agents Ask

Frequently Asked Questions

Home inspection radon test failed on my Colorado Springs purchase — what now?
If your buyer's inspection radon test returned at or above 4.0 pCi/L, you have a routine Colorado Springs transaction decision. The most common path: seller-paid mitigation completed before closing. Quote arrives within 2 hours of forwarding us the inspection report. Install in 4-8 hours of on-site work. Post-mitigation verification within 48-96 hours. Closing documentation package within 11 days. Most Colorado Springs radon contingencies fit comfortably inside this window.
How quickly can radon mitigation happen before closing in Colorado Springs?
Colorado Springs real-estate-transaction radon mitigation timeline runs Day 1-11: quote (Day 1) → buyer/seller agreement (Day 1-3) → priority install (Day 3-7) → 48-96 hour post-mitigation verification (Day 8-10) → lender-acceptable documentation package (Day 11). Real-estate-transaction jobs jump our standard queue; no rush premium.
Who typically pays for radon mitigation in a Colorado Springs home sale?
Roughly 60% of Colorado Springs real-estate-transaction radon mitigations are seller-paid (seller fixes before close), 30% are negotiated as a closing credit (buyer takes cash at close), 10% are buyer-paid. The Colorado Real Estate Purchase Agreement does not mandate which party pays — your real estate agent negotiates with the other side. The seller-paid + repair-before-close path is preferred by FHA, USDA, and VA underwriters.
What does radon mitigation cost in Colorado Springs, CO?
Colorado Springs single-family radon mitigation typically runs $1000-$2800. Standard active sub-slab depressurization (ASD) is the most common system type (~85% of Colorado Springs installs). We do NOT charge a rush premium for closing-timeline work; real-estate-transaction jobs price at the same range as standard installs.
Does Colorado Springs have higher-than-average radon levels?
Colorado Springs (El Paso County) averages 6.4 pCi/L indoor radon — that's 1.6x the EPA action level of 4 pCi/L. Approximately 50% of Colorado Springs homes test elevated. Cold Colorado winters intensify the stack effect — heated indoor air rising creates negative pressure that pulls radon-laden soil gas into basements. Winter radon readings commonly run 30–50% higher than summer. This means a failed-inspection radon test on a Colorado Springs listing is not unusual — it should be expected on a meaningful share of transactions.
Will an FHA / VA / USDA lender accept Colorado Springs radon mitigation documentation?
Yes. Our standard real-estate-transaction documentation package includes (1) the original inspection radon result, (2) the partner contractor's NRPP + CDPHE certifications, (3) the post-mitigation verification test result confirming the home is below 4 pCi/L, and (4) install warranty (5-year fan, lifetime piping). This package is accepted by FHA, USDA, VA, and all major conventional lenders without further documentation requests.
Can Colorado Springs radon mitigation happen during the standard 10-day inspection contingency window?
Yes — the 7-14 day mitigation workflow fits inside most standard Colorado Springs 10-14 day inspection contingency windows. If the contingency was written tighter (5-7 days), a contingency-extension agreement between buyer and seller is typically the cleanest path; your real estate agent can advise on standard Colorado extension language.
Should Colorado Springs sellers pre-test for radon before listing?
Strongly recommended — especially in El Paso County where county average is 6.4 pCi/L. Pre-listing radon testing lets Colorado Springs sellers (1) surface elevated readings before going under contract, (2) mitigate proactively at standard pricing instead of under buyer-side closing pressure, (3) market the home with a verified-mitigated radon result as a transaction advantage. Listings with documented pre-mitigation typically close faster and at full price.
