Radon might be a hidden danger, but the myths surrounding it don’t have to be. In Colorado, where stunning mountains and high-altitude living come with unique radon risks, misinformation can put homeowners at risk. At Breathe Easy Radon Solutions, we’re here to set the record straight. Let’s debunk five common radon myths and help you breathe easier in the Centennial State.
Myth 1: “Radon Is Only a Problem in Old Colorado Homes”
Truth: From historic Denver bungalows to new builds in Fort Collins, radon doesn’t care about your home’s age. Colorado’s rocky, uranium-rich soils—like those in the Front Range or Western Slope—mean radon can seep into any foundation. Testing is a must, no matter when your home was built.
Myth 2: “I’d Notice Radon if It Were in My House”
Truth: Radon is sneaky—it’s odorless, colorless, and tasteless. You won’t spot it in your Colorado Springs basement or Grand Junction crawlspace without a test. That’s why Breathe Easy Radon Solutions uses cutting-edge equipment to detect what your senses can’t.
Myth 3: “Radon Testing Is a Long, Expensive Hassle”
Truth: Testing is fast and budget-friendly. With Breathe Easy Radon Solutions, we can deliver accurate results for your Colorado home in as little as 48 hours. No weeks of waiting, no hefty price tag—just peace of mind at a fair cost.
Myth 4: “My Neighbor’s Low Radon Levels Mean I’m Safe”
Truth: Radon isn’t consistent across the street. Colorado’s varied geology—like granite in Boulder or shale in Pueblo—means levels can differ drastically between neighbors. Don’t roll the dice on someone else’s test; get your own with Breathe Easy.
Myth 5: “Mitigation Systems Are an Eyesore and Cost Too Much”
Truth: Gone are the days of clunky fixes. Our mitigation systems at Breathe Easy Radon Solutions are sleek, often just a slim pipe blending into your Colorado home’s exterior. They’re affordable, too—think of it as an investment in your health, not a burden.
Why This Hits Home in Colorado
Colorado’s high elevation and uranium-heavy soils make radon a bigger concern here than in many states. The EPA estimates over half of Colorado homes have elevated levels—well above the national average. Busting these myths isn’t just smart; it’s essential for protecting your family from lung cancer risks.
