Proudly Serving the El Paso Area
Running along the shore by the meandering Rio Grande River, El Paso is a beautiful merging of Mexican and American cultural influences. The Mission Trail showcases over 400 years of Hispanic heritage and settlement, juxtaposed against a dynamic urban backdrop. Despite the remote borderland location, the Franklin Mountains set an earthen stage for vibrant arts and a youthful university atmosphere that resonates between historical legacy and future diversification.
El Paso’s average radon levels tend to fall in what is considered the “moderate” range nationally (Radon Zone 2 – 2-4 pCi/L). That being said, radon levels can vary significantly even at a local level. In fact, parts of El Paso County have been designated Zone 1 by the EPA, with 1 in 4 homes having radon levels at or above the recommended action levels. Regardless, no level of indoor radon is safe, which is why it is of the utmost importance you have your home tested.
Radon Testing Services in El Paso
Though El Paso’s average radon level falls under EPA guidelines for immediate action, concentrations vary substantially between houses, even on the same block. As uranium decays unpredictably in area soil, so to do radon levels fluctuate over time, meaning today’s “safe” home could see spikes tomorrow, making routine testing crucial.
Adhering to the Indoor Environments Association’s rigorous testing protocols, our technicians strategically place measurement devices in a property’s lowest livable space. At optimal intervals (2-90 days short-term, 90+ long-term), we collect readings to be lab analyzed, delivering easy-to-understand results within 48 hours.
Radon Mitigation Services in El Paso
Radon is a radioactive gas created as uranium breaks down in soil and rock and can accumulate in indoor spaces over time. It accounts for about 21,000 lung cancer deaths annually as alpha radiation emitted through radon decay damages lung tissue. The lung cancer risk exists even at low radon levels. The EPA warns that nearly 1 in 15 homes exceed recommended radon guidelines. This is why having an effective mitigation system is so crucial.
Though El Paso radon averages under the 4 pCi/L EPA action level, even moderate levels of radon can pose a serious risk. This is why having an effective radon mitigation system is so critical. Our certified technicians design and install commercial and residential radon mitigation systems custom tailored to the size, design, and foundation type of your property.
