Radon Mitigation in Peyton, Colorado
Peyton is the rural counterweight to Falcon’s subdivisions: unincorporated eastern El Paso County acreage where small ranches, horse properties, and homes on multiple acres share the plains east of Colorado Springs. Out here the nearest neighbor may be a quarter mile off, but the soil under every foundation carries the same county radon odds.
No Peyton-specific radon average is published, so the county figure below is the honest baseline. We connect Peyton property owners with independent, Colorado-licensed contractors for free mitigation quotes.

The Colorado Geological Survey attributes radon to the decay of natural uranium found in rock and soil across the state. The high plains around Peyton are underlain by sediments shed from the Front Range, and the USGS identifies weathered Pikes Peak granite as a source of uranium and its decay products. Wind and open space do not vent a foundation: radon entry happens beneath the house, where the soil meets the slab or crawlspace.
Peyton properties mix site-built homes, manufactured homes, and older farmhouses, often with crawlspaces, walkout basements, or slab additions poured over time. Crawlspace homes typically get a sealed membrane over the exposed soil with suction beneath it; manufactured homes on permanent foundations are handled case by case in the diagnostic visit. Like Black Forest, many properties run private wells, so waterborne radon is worth asking about at test time.
County radon help for Peyton 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
Road, Colorado Springs.
CDPHE
offers free kits statewide, one per household per year.
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 Peyton?
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.
Peyton Radon Questions
Does a manufactured home in Peyton need a different radon approach?
It depends on the foundation and skirting details, which is exactly what the contractor’s diagnostic visit determines. Sealed crawlspace membranes with sub-membrane suction handle many configurations. The quote is free, so the assessment costs nothing.
We are on a well in Peyton. Should we test the water for radon too?
Soil gas under the foundation is the primary route and the one mitigation targets, but private well water can add radon to indoor air. A licensed measurement professional can test both so the mitigation plan reflects your actual sources.
Is rural El Paso County lower-radon than the city?
There is no primary-source data showing that. The published county figure covers all of El Paso County: over 40 percent of homes tested from 2005 to 2023 exceeded the action level, per El Paso County Public Health. Treat acreage homes with the same seriousness as city homes.
Where do Peyton residents get radon test kits?
El Paso County Public Health sells kits at its laboratory at 1675 W. Garden of the Gods Road in Colorado Springs, and CDPHE offers one free kit per household per year while supplies last. A licensed professional test makes sense when a sale or a mitigation decision rides on the number.
