Proudly Serving the Farmington Area
Located in the scenic Four Corners region, Farmington is a city known for its unique blend of outdoor recreation, rich history, and diverse cultural attractions. Nestled at the intersection of three major rivers – the San Juan, Animas, and La Plata – Farmington boasts incredible opportunities for fishing, hiking, and exploring the surrounding desert landscapes. The city’s proximity to world-renowned archaeological sites, including the Chaco Culture National Historical Park, makes it a hub for cultural tourism and education. With a population that supports both modern industry and agriculture, Farmington is a dynamic community that balances progress with its natural and cultural heritage.
However, one of the lesser-known issues faced by many residents and property owners in Farmington is the risk of elevated radon levels. The surrounding geological conditions in San Juan County create an environment where radon exposure is a significant concern. Regular radon testing and mitigation are crucial for protecting both residential and commercial properties from this invisible threat. Contact us at (505) 348-4467 to schedule a radon test or learn more about how our services can help protect your property.
Radon Testing Services in Farmington
Radon is a colorless, odorless, and radioactive gas that arises from the natural decay of uranium in the surrounding soil and rock. It infiltrates buildings through foundation cracks, gaps, and openings. Though average levels found in Farmington are generally low (hovering around 1.3 pCi/L), can differ substantially from one building to the next, even within the same neighborhood. As such, routine testing is highly recommended.
Our NRPP Certified Radon Measurement Professionals (RMPs) employ the latest equipment and protocols to ensure highly accurate testing results. We strategically place short-term (2-90 days) and long-term (over 90 days) testing devices in the lowest livable areas of your property, collecting comprehensive data on indoor radon concentrations. Within 48 hours, you’ll receive detailed results, enabling you to make informed decisions about any necessary radon mitigation.

The Benefits of Continuous Radon Monitoring Systems
When it comes to ensuring the safety and health of your home or business, testing for radon is a crucial step. Radon, an invisible and odorless gas, is a natural byproduct of uranium decay in soil and rocks. Unfortunately, it’s also a known carcinogen and a leading cause of lung cancer in non-smokers. Among the various radon testing methods, Continuous Radon Monitors (CRMs) stand out for their accuracy, convenience, and ability to provide a real-time analysis of radon levels.
A Guide to Radon Mitigation Compliance Testing
While installing a radon mitigation system is an essential step in reducing radon levels, it is equally crucial to verify that the system is working as intended. This is where radon mitigation compliance testing comes in, ensuring that the mitigation system adheres to established safety standards and effectively reduces indoor radon levels.
The Importance of Radon Testing for Homebuyers
Radon is a significant concern in real estate transactions, yet it often doesn’t receive the attention it deserves. This naturally occurring radioactive gas, which seeps into homes from the ground, poses a serious health risk, particularly in enclosed spaces. For both buyers and sellers, understanding radon and addressing it during the home buying or selling process is crucial to ensuring safety and peace of mind.
