Pikes Peak Radon
About us
Pikes Peak Radon is the premier radon mitigation company serving Colorado Springs and the entire Pikes Peak region. We are dedicated to helping Colorado Springs homeowners protect their homes and families from the dangers of radon gas. The EPA and the Surgeon General’s Office believe that radon causes as many as 20,000 deaths from lung cancer every year. It is the second leading cause of lung cancer, but Pikes Peak Radon can make your home safe from this dangerous substance. Radon is clear, odorless and tasteless, but we can find it. Radon can exist in your home and you would never know it was there without a special test. We can perform this radon test for you, or you can do the test yourself, so you can know if radon is a threat to your home or family. Pikes Peak Radon has installed hundreds of radon mitigation systems in Colorado homes.

Excellent execution.
Doug really knows what he's doing. His assistants also knew their job. They quickly completed the installation and finished to a high degree of quality. This includes the quality of the fan, venting pipes, painting, caulking and so forth.
Would highly recommend.
He provided a written quote and a guarantee that if the independent post-test results were not below the EPA threshold, that he would perform any further work at no cost. The price was competitive, and we agreed to move forward.
Doug and two workers arrived on time and performed the installation in about three hours. The system was tested and found to be working properly. All work was done expertly using high quality materials, and the site was left neat and clean. The system is virtually silent, despite the volume of air that the fan is moving.
A week following installation, I retested for interior radon levels. The test canister was submitted to the radon lab at UCCS, and I received the results via email the next day. The results tell the story: Pre-mitigation test results were 16.8 pCi/L, well above the EPA standard of 4 pCi/L. Post test measurement was 0.98 pCi/L.
Mr. Bowen has an excellent website (pikespeakradon.com). It contains representative pictures of his jobs and a list of radon mitigation do's and dont's. As I've around the neighborhood, I've noticed many installations that do not meet established standards for materials or vent location.
Bowen takes pride in educating customers about proper mitigation methods. I recommend Pikes Peak Radon without reservation.
Doug and his helpers showed up promptly on the install day and worked until everything was done. I had commented to him how hard it was to crawl around in our crawl space since when the original system was installed the membrane was put over what felt like small pieces of cement, rock or petrified chucks of dirt. When we were in there crawling around we constantly got these pieces poking our hands or knees which was very painful. He remembered that and on the installation day he brought up a bunch of cardboard to line the floor before putting down the new membrane which was over the old one. He also suggested putting down old remnant pieces of carpet in the pathways for added comfort and moving ease. Genius!! What a tremendous difference this has made getting around in there now! The new system is working beautifully and the space is more functional. Doug was very conscientious and made sure everything was done correctly and at or above code. His helpers were hard-working and nice guys. I would definitely recommend Pikes Peak Radon and the work they do.
As it was, we DID need a system. He made an appointment to install it with his crew. One of the great things about Doug is that he goes above and beyond for you. He sealed our entire basement (where the walls meet the floor) and around all the pipes explaining that without the sealing that our system would definitely work well, but that our utility bill would dramatically increase.
The system was installed by early afternoon, everything was cleaned up well and thoroughly and everything was explained to us that we needed to know. The system is outside the house and Doug was very concerned about having it match the color of our house. He said otherwise, it would be an eyesore. He had paint and will paint to match!
I would definitely recommend Doug and Pike's Peak Radon to anyone who wants it done right! Doug was very professional, very informative and very personable. It was a pleasure to work with him.
