Radon Mitigation in Falcon, Colorado
Falcon has been one of El Paso County’s fastest-growing corners since the early 1990s, when residential development began transforming the old ranching crossroads northeast of Colorado Springs; the area’s population nearly doubled between 1990 and 2000 and master-planned subdivisions have kept arriving since. New rooftops do not change what is underneath: the same county soils that produce elevated radon everywhere else.
No Falcon-specific radon average is published, so the county figure below is the honest baseline. We connect Falcon homeowners with independent, Colorado-licensed contractors for free mitigation quotes.
40%+
of El Paso County homes tested from 2005 to 2023 came back above the EPA action level of 4 pCi/L
Radon originates in the decay of natural uranium in rock and soil, per the Colorado Geological Survey, and the plains east of Colorado Springs are built from sediment eroded off the Front Range, whose Pikes Peak granite the USGS identifies as a source of uranium and its decay products. A brand-new, tightly sealed house can post a higher reading than an older, draftier one next door, because tight envelopes hold soil gas in.
Falcon’s housing skews new: production homes from the 1990s through the 2020s, many two-stories with basements, plus ranch-style builds on larger lots toward Peyton. In newer homes with basements, a single sub-slab suction point with an attic or garage vent run is the common configuration. Buyers of new construction should still test after moving in; a new certificate of occupancy is not a radon result.
County radon help for Falcon residents
El Paso County Public Health
answers radon questions at (719) 578-3199, option 3, and sells test
kits at the Public Health Laboratory, 1675 W. Garden of the Gods

Since July 1, 2022, Colorado law has required anyone performing radon
measurement or radon mitigation services for hire to hold a state
license through the
Department of Regulatory Agencies' Division of Professions and Occupations. The requirement was created by
House Bill 21-1195. Before you sign anything, check the license and ask these three
questions. A licensed contractor will welcome all of them.
1 May I see your current Colorado radon license number?
2 Is the person doing the work the licensed individual?
3 Will you retest after installation to confirm the reading dropped?
What it costs, and what happens after you send the form
What does radon mitigation cost in Falcon?
The Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment publishes a typical range of
approximately $1,300 to $3,000 for a traditional system on an existing
single-family home, as of July 2026
(CDPHE).
Where a home lands depends on foundation zones, vent routing, and fan sizing.
Either way it is a range to plan against, not a quote and not our price. The
cost guide
breaks it down.
How fast will someone get back to me?
Calls and form submissions reach Compass Camper LLC directly. We read the request and pass it
to an independent state-licensed local radon professional, usually within about an hour during
the day. They then contact you to look at the property and quote the work on their own
schedule.
Only the independent state-licensed contractor you are matched with can price your actual
property. Compass Camper LLC does not perform radon work and does not quote it.
Falcon Radon Questions
My Falcon house is nearly new. Can it really have a radon problem?
Yes. Radon depends on the soil under the slab and the pressure balance of the house, not the build date, and tight new envelopes can hold soil gas effectively. Testing is the only way to know, and county data says the odds of a high result are substantial: over 40 percent of El Paso County tests from 2005 to 2023, per El Paso County Public Health.
We are buying new construction in Falcon. When should we test?
Test once you occupy and can run closed-house conditions, then retest every two years per EPA guidance. If the result is at or above 4 pCi/L, a licensed contractor adds an active system; most single-family installs finish in one visit.
Is there a Falcon-only radon statistic?
No primary source publishes one, which is why this page uses the county figure and says so. Never trust a site quoting a hyper-local average without a named primary source.
Do military families PCSing to Falcon deal with radon differently?
The mechanics are the same, but PCS timelines compress them. Our military PCS radon guide walks through testing and mitigation inside a transaction window for moves to Peterson SFB, Schriever SFB, Fort Carson, and the Air Force Academy.
