What is Radon?
Radon is a naturally occurring, odorless radioactive gas that forms from the breakdown of uranium in soil, rock, and water. It can seep into homes through cracks and gaps, accumulating to dangerous levels without any visible warning signs. The EPA estimates that radon exposure causes over 20,000 lung cancer deaths in the U.S. each year, making it the second leading cause of lung cancer after smoking.
Common Radon Entry Points Include:
- Cracks in floors and foundation walls
- Construction joints
- Gaps around plumbing and service pipes
- Wall cavities and sump pits
- Crawl spaces and unsealed floors
Whether you’re buying, selling, or simply maintaining your home, radon testing in Douglas County is a vital step toward ensuring a safe living environment.

Who Is at Risk from Radon Exposure?
The truth is—every home in Douglas County, CO is at risk for elevated radon levels, regardless of age, location, or foundation type. However, homes with crawl spaces or basements tend to be more susceptible, as radon gas can easily seep through exposed soil, cracks, and foundation gaps.
Studies show that radon concentrations can spike up to 10 times higher during winter months, when homes are sealed up tight and ventilation is limited. This makes cold seasons an especially risky time for prolonged radon exposure—putting everyone in the household at risk, especially children and elderly individuals.
To know for sure, you'll need professional testing. At Front Range Home Inspections, our certified radon specialistsprovide precise, reliable radon measurements for both air and water. If levels measure 4.0 pCi/L or higher, the EPA recommends taking immediate action by installing a radon mitigation system—something a qualified contractor can handle.
