What is Radon?
Radon is a naturally occurring cancer-causing radioactive gas. It is colorless, odorless, tasteless.
How does radon get inside my house or business?
Most indoor radon comes into the building from the soil or rock beneath it. Radon gas rises through the soil and enters your home. Once inside, the radon can become trapped and concentrated.
How much does mitigation cost?
This varies depending on the design of the house and what will be needed to lower the radon to a healthy level. We are happy to come out and look at your home to give you a Free Estimate!
Does the age of my home/building matter?
No. Radon has been in homes that are 100+ years old, brand new homes and every age in between.
I have Radon, what now?
Radon mitigation! This is a system or steps designed to reduce radon concentrations in the indoor air of a building.
What areas do you service?
Southwest Radon Eliminators provides radon services to areas of New Mexico (including Albuquerque, Santa Fe, Taos, and Farmington), Colorado (including Denver, Colorado Springs, and Pagosa Springs), and Texas.
Should I get my home/business tested for Radon?
Yes! Radon is widely believed to be the second leading cause of lung cancer.
How did I get Radon?
Radon is formed by the natural radioactive decay of uranium in rock, soil, and water. Once produced, radon moves through the ground to the air above, either outside or inside homes and businesses.
How often is Radon an issue?
Nearly one out of every 15 homes has a radon level the EPA considers to be elevated. Because most people spend as much as 90 percent of their time indoors, indoor exposure to radon is an important concern.
How does radon mitigation work?
We design a system that draws the radon from below your home or business to the outside air where it is quickly diluted.
What next?
After the mitigation system is installed we do a free post-installation test to ensure the system is getting the level down to where it should be!

How Continuous Radon Monitoring Systems Work
Radon poses a significant health risk due to its colorless, odorless, and tasteless nature, accounting for 16.5% of lung cancer related deaths. Continuous Radon Monitoring systems are an essential tool for understanding radon exposure and implementing effective mitigation strategies. These systems are designed with advanced technologies to track radon levels in real time and provide actionable data for property owners and professionals alike.
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.
