Radon Mitigation in Teller County, Colorado
Teller County rises straight out of the Pikes Peak granite west of
Colorado Springs, from Ute Pass up through Woodland Park and Divide to
the old gold camps around Cripple Creek. Living on the mountain means
living on the rock that produces radon:
CSU Extension's Teller County office notes that every Colorado county, Teller included, carries the EPA's
Zone 1 designation, its highest radon potential rating. We connect
Teller County homeowners with independent, Colorado-licensed mitigation
contractors for free written quotes.
Zone 1

The
Colorado Geological Survey attributes radon to the decay of natural uranium in rock and soil,
present in all parts of Colorado, and the
USGS identifies weathered Pikes Peak granite as a source of uranium and its
decay products. In Teller County that granite is not underfoot at a
distance; foundations are commonly blasted, benched, or poured directly
onto it. Add long mountain winters, when houses stay sealed and heated
air pulls soil gas upward, and the conditions for elevated indoor radon
are all present.
Mountain housing and mitigation
Teller housing runs from in-town Woodland Park streets to cabins and
custom builds on wooded acreage, with walkout basements stepping down
slopes and crawlspaces under older structures. Multi-zone foundations
are the norm rather than the exception, so quotes hinge on how many
separately poured sections need suction or sealing. Every install ends
the same way: a retest that documents the level actually dropped.
Divide, Florissant, and Cripple Creek homeowners can use the same
request form; quote requests route to contractors covering the county.
Start with
radon testing if you have never measured, or
radon mitigation with a high result in hand. Cost variables are explained in our
cost guide.
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 Teller County?
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.
Teller County Radon Questions
Does Teller County publish its own radon statistics?
Not at the level of a county average from a primary source. What is documented: CSU Extension notes that all Colorado counties carry the EPA Zone 1 designation, and CDPHE reports about half of Colorado homes test above the action level. For a mountain county built on granite, testing each home is the only reliable answer.
Where do Teller County residents get free radon test kits?
CSU Extension’s Teller County program has offered free kits in partnership with Teller County Environmental Health and Public Health, based at 11115 US Highway 24 in Divide. CDPHE also offers free kits statewide, one per household per year, while supplies last.
Do mountain homes around Woodland Park and Divide need special mitigation designs?
The method is standard active soil depressurization, but mountain foundations often have multiple zones: walkout basements, crawlspaces under additions, and garages on separate slabs. Licensed contractors map the zones in the diagnostic visit and quote the layout in writing.
Does Colorado radon licensing apply in Teller County?
Yes. The DORA license requirement for radon measurement and mitigation professionals has applied statewide since July 1, 2022. Check any contractor working in Woodland Park, Divide, Florissant, or Cripple Creek in the DORA license lookup.
