Eagle County Radon Profile

Eagle County lacks a firm EPA zone classification, and the EPA recommends testing every home regardless of regional radon predictions. Direct test data for Eagle County remains limited, so the closest neighboring readings are used here to represent the radon conditions homeowners are likely to encounter. As the second leading cause of lung cancer in the U.S., radon warrants testing in every Eagle County home regardless of zone or a neighbor's results.

Radon FAQ for Avon, CO

What EPA Radon Zone is Avon in?
Avon and the 81620 zip code are in Eagle County, which has an EPA assigned Radon Zone of Unknown. A zone of Unknown does not have sufficient data for classification.
Why are radon readings shown from areas near Avon?
No homeowner radon tests have been submitted for Avon yet. Because radon is driven by regional soil and bedrock geology, readings from the closest cities—and the Eagle County average—are the best available indicator of local conditions until Avon homeowners submit their own results. The EPA still recommends testing every individual home, since levels can vary significantly from house to house.
How much does radon mitigation cost in Avon?
Radon mitigation in Avon typically costs between $800 and $2,000. Most homes with standard basements can be mitigated with a sub-slab depressurization system in the $1,000–$1,500 range. Factors that can increase cost include complex foundations, crawl spaces, or very high radon levels.
Should I test for radon if I'm buying a home in Avon?
Yes. Radon testing should be part of every home purchase. A short-term radon test is typically included as part of the home inspection process and costs $150–$250. If elevated levels are found, you can negotiate mitigation as part of the sale.
