Radon is a colorless, odorless, radioactive gas that forms naturally as uranium breaks down in soil and rock. You can’t see it. You can’t smell it. But it can quietly build up inside your home—and long-term exposure is a serious health risk.
Think of radon as a silent condition. You won’t feel symptoms day to day, but over time, exposure can have real consequences.
Radon enters homes through:
Homes in Farmington, Durango, and the Four Corners area are especially susceptible due to local geology and soil composition. Even newer, well-sealed homes can trap radon more effectively than older homes.
Radon is the second leading cause of lung cancer in the United States—right behind smoking. For non-smokers, it’s the leading cause.
The risk increases when:
This is why radon is often highest in winter—and why testing matters year-round.
You can’t diagnose radon without testing. Period.
A professional radon inspection:
At RadonRX, we don’t guess—we test, diagnose, and prescribe the right solution.
If radon levels are elevated, the fix is usually straightforward and highly effective. Most mitigation systems reduce radon levels by 90–99%.

No. In fact, newer homes can sometimes have higher radon levels because modern construction is more airtight. Radon comes from the soil beneath your home — not from the age of the house.
Yes. A mitigation system is often seen as a proactive improvement and can simplify future real estate transactions by eliminating radon concerns during inspections.
Radon is invisible and odorless — there’s no way to detect it without testing. Even homes next door to each other can have completely different radon levels. The only way to know is to test.
Most professional tests run for 48 hours to ensure accurate results. After testing, we review the findings with you and explain exactly what they mean for your home.
Most mitigation systems are installed in a single day. You can remain in your home during installation.
No. Modern mitigation systems are quiet and discreet. The vent stack is typically placed along the exterior of the home, and the fan operates with minimal noise.
Radon is the second leading cause of lung cancer in the United States and the #1 cause among non-smokers. Long-term exposure increases risk — which is why early detection matters.
Costs vary depending on your home’s layout and foundation type. After testing and evaluation, we provide transparent pricing before any work begins.
If radon levels exceed EPA recommendations (4.0 pCi/L), we design a mitigation system tailored to your home’s structure. Most systems reduce radon levels by up to 99%.
