Radon FAQ for Moffat, CO

What EPA Radon Zone is Moffat in?

Why are radon readings shown from areas near Moffat?

Because radon is driven by regional soil and bedrock geology, readings from the closest cities—and the Saguache County average—are the best available indicator of local conditions until Moffat 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 Moffat?

Should I test for radon if I'm buying a home in Moffat?
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.
