Radon During a Denver Home Sale
CDPHE encourages home buyers to test for radon during the inspection period, using a licensed radon measurement professional, and to work with the seller to get a mitigation system installed if levels are elevated [1]. EPA's Home Buyer's and Seller's Guide covers how to handle testing in a transaction [2].
For buyers
- Schedule the radon test early in your inspection window so results arrive before your objection deadline.
- If a system already exists, ask for recent test results and check that the fan is running; EPA recommends a test even when a system is present [2].
- If the result is 4 pCi/L or more, a quote from a licensed mitigator helps you negotiate repair or a credit.
For sellers
- Testing before listing avoids surprises. If you mitigate, keep the post-mitigation test results for buyers [2].
Rentals
Since August 7, 2023, Colorado landlords must disclose radon information when a tenant signs a lease, and tenants may test their own units [1].
