Colorado is among the states with the highest radon levels in the U.S. because of natural uranium deposits in the soil. Radon is a colorless, odorless gas that can build up inside homes and increase long-term health risks if left unaddressed.
At True Mountain Inspections, we use EPA-certified digital testing equipment to measure radon levels accurately in Monument, Palmer Lake, Castle Rock, and surrounding areas. If high levels are detected, we’ll explain mitigation options and connect you with trusted local professionals to help resolve the issue.
Every Colorado homeowner should test for radon — especially during a home purchase or remodel.
