Radon Mitigation in Stratmoor Hills, Colorado

Stratmoor Hills sits just south of the Colorado Springs city line, the everyday name for the community the Census Bureau records as Stratmoor, home to 6,518 people at the 2020 Census. Fort Carson is a short drive away, which keeps these blocks busy with military households, and the ground underneath carries the same El Paso County radon odds as the rest of the region.

No agency publishes a Stratmoor Hills-only radon number, so the county figure below is the honest baseline. We connect Stratmoor Hills homeowners with independent, Colorado-licensed contractors for free mitigation quotes.

Why radon collects under Stratmoor Hills

The Colorado Geological Survey attributes radon to the decay of natural uranium in rock and soil statewide, and the low hills and valley floor south of Colorado Springs are built from sediment shed off the Front Range; the USGS identifies weathered Pikes Peak granite as a source of uranium and its decay products. A city-line address changes nothing underground: entry is driven by the soil gas path beneath each individual foundation.

Local housing and what it means for mitigation

With Fort Carson close by, Stratmoor Hills homes cycle through PCS-driven sales and leases more often than most Colorado Springs neighborhoods, and every turnover is a moment when radon gets tested, disclosed, or negotiated. For owners, the foundation decides the plan: basement homes typically take a sub-slab suction point and a vent run to the roofline, and crawlspace sections get a sealed membrane with suction beneath it. For landlords, Colorado law now requires a radon disclosure before every lease signing, so testing once converts a legal duty into finished paperwork.
