Radon Mitigation in Niwot, CO

Niwot sits along the Diagonal Highway between Longmont and Boulder, in the same EPA Zone 1 as the rest of Boulder County. Many homes here have full basements, and basements are where radon readings tend to run highest because they sit closest to the soil.

If you're finishing a basement in Niwot, test before the walls go up. It's far easier to place a suction point in an unfinished floor. Already finished? A system can usually be routed through a utility room or the garage.

Niwot homes built before radon-resistant construction became common rarely have a passive pipe, so a full sub-slab system is the usual fix. Many Niwot basements also have a sump pit, which needs an airtight cover so the system can hold suction. Testing in winter, with the house closed up, gives the most useful number. Call (720) 790-3231.
