Radon Mitigation in Cimarron Hills, Colorado

Cimarron Hills is the census-designated community on Colorado Springs’ east side, home to 19,311 people at the 2020 Census and sitting about two and a half miles north of Peterson Space Force Base. Its location makes it a perennial choice for military households, and its soil makes it El Paso County radon country like everywhere else in the region.

No Cimarron Hills-specific radon average is published, so the county figure below is the honest baseline. We connect Cimarron Hills homeowners with independent, Colorado-licensed contractors for free mitigation quotes.

Why radon collects under Cimarron Hills

Radon forms as natural uranium in rock and soil decays, per the Colorado Geological Survey, and the terrain east of Colorado Springs is built from sediment eroded off the Front Range, whose Pikes Peak granite the USGS identifies as a source of uranium and its decay products. Radon does not respect fence lines or base perimeters; the driver is the soil gas pathway under each individual foundation.

Local housing and what it means for mitigation

Cimarron Hills grew as an unincorporated suburb, and its housing spans ranch homes, split-levels, and two-stories from several building eras. Split-level homes deserve a note: their staggered slabs can mean more than one soil-contact zone, and a licensed contractor may place the suction point to reach both or add sealing where the levels meet. Renters are covered here too: Colorado law requires landlords to disclose radon information before lease signing.

Verify Your Contractor's Colorado Radon License

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. 1 May I see your current Colorado radon license number?
  2. 2 Is the person doing the work the licensed individual?
  3. 3 Will you retest after installation to confirm the reading dropped?

Cimarron Hills Radon Questions

We just got orders to Peterson SFB and are buying in Cimarron Hills. How does radon fit the timeline?

Order the radon test during your inspection window, typically a 48-hour continuous monitor placed by a licensed measurement professional. If it comes back high, mitigation is negotiated inside the contract deadlines and usually installs in one visit. Our military PCS radon guide covers the full sequence.

I rent in Cimarron Hills. What are my radon rights?

Under Senate Bill 23-206, effective August 7, 2023, your landlord must give you a radon warning statement and any known test records before you sign, and tenants have remedies, in defined situations, when radon at or above 4 pCi/L goes unmitigated. The bill text at leg.colorado.gov is the authoritative source.

Is there radon data specific to Cimarron Hills?

No primary source publishes a Cimarron Hills average. The documented number is the county one: over 40 percent of El Paso County homes tested from 2005 to 2023 exceeded the EPA action level, per El Paso County Public Health.

How are split-level homes mitigated?

The contractor maps the foundation zones during the diagnostic visit, then places suction to reach the slab sections that contact soil, sealing junctions between levels as needed. The post-installation retest confirms the whole house came down, not just one level.
