Radon Mitigation in Lakewood
Lakewood starts where Golden ends — and its wall-to-wall brick ranches are the classic radon retrofit.
Radon Mitigation for Lakewood Homes
Morse Park, Eiber, and Glennon Heights are wall-to-wall 1950s and 60s brick ranches with full basements — the bread-and-butter radon retrofit — while Green Mountain's split-levels climb the slope toward the hogback and Solterra adds newer stock with rough-ins. Lakewood is literally next door to our Golden base, and Martens Radon covers all of it: licensed RMT.0000225, free on-site assessment, written quote usually the same day. Most homes we mitigate end up below 2.0 pCi/L, well under the EPA action level of 4.0.
Can the Pipe Stay Hidden on a Lakewood Brick Ranch?
Usually yes — a garage run or a color-matched exterior drop with a 3D-printed transition keeps the system from announcing itself on the brick. Morse Park and Eiber are the classic case — block after block of the same brick footprint — and the free on-site assessment is where Ivan decides which routing option fits the specific house before anything gets quoted.
Lakewood is one stop on a bigger map — the full list of areas we serve covers everywhere else Martens Radon works from the Golden base. Want the mechanics before you call? How the system pulls radon out walks through the process end to end, and Denver-area cost breakdown lays out what changes the price across every foundation type Lakewood throws at us, brick ranch to Green Mountain walk-out.
Which Lakewood Neighborhoods Do We Serve?
Lakewood's brick ranches dominate block after block, but Green Mountain's slope-built splits and Solterra's newer stock mean the right system still depends on which part of the city you're in.
Morse Park
Fifties brick ranches with full basements — the classic retrofit.
Eiber
More of Lakewood's signature ranch stock, block after block.
Glennon Heights
Ranches where a garage run often hides the pipe entirely.
Belmar
Mid-century blocks around the old downtown.
Green Mountain
Split-levels built into the slope, walk-outs facing the city.
Solterra
Twenty-tens stock where a rough-in check comes first.
Two Creeks
Established ranches and splits near the foothills edge.
Bear Creek
Homes along the greenbelt where discharge routing minds the view.
What Radon Mitigation Costs in Lakewood
The brick-ranch basement is the standard retrofit case: $1,400–$1,800, and it is most of what we do in Lakewood. Slope-built Green Mountain homes that add a crawlspace under the walk-out move into the crawlspace band at $1,900–$2,800+ when a sealed membrane is involved. Solterra's capped rough-ins usually need only activation: $550–$850.

What Every Martens Radon Install Includes
Every quote covers the complete job: all materials, the new fan, and debris disposal. Every system ships with a U-tube manometer and a vacuum alarm, as Colorado regulations require, so you can see at a glance that it is pulling. Exterior runs are finished with color-matched downspout transitions — including custom 3D-printed parts where a standard fitting will not fit the house. Ivan stands behind his own workmanship for as long as Martens Radon is in business, and the fan carries its own manufacturer warranty. A follow-up radon test is available if needed or wanted.
Lakewood Radon Questions
Our Green Mountain home backs up to the hogback — is radon worse here?
Radon varies house to house, not by how close you sit to the hogback, so there's no blanket answer for every Green Mountain address. Foothills-edge geology is exactly why Jefferson County homeowners keep test kits busy — the terrain gives people reason to check. The EPA estimates nearly half of Colorado homes test above 4 pCi/L statewide, and testing your own house is the only way to get your number.
Will the install tear up our finished basement?
No more than it has to. Suction-point placement is chosen specifically to minimize disruption to a finished space, working around what's already built out rather than cutting through the middle of it. Every quote already includes all materials and debris disposal as part of the price, so there's no separate cleanup bill or hidden line item once the job wraps up and the crew leaves.
Do you work with Lakewood inspectors and realtors on home sales?
Yes. Real estate transactions move on tight deadlines, and a free on-site assessment with a written quote usually the same day fits neatly into most inspection timelines — Ivan walks the house and you have a number to work with quickly. What we won't do is promise a specific install date sight unseen; scheduling gets worked out once the job itself is understood.
Is Solterra new enough to skip testing?
No home is, Solterra included. Being built in the twenty-tens doesn't take a house off the list — the newer stock in Solterra is exactly the kind of construction that often already has a passive rough-in in place: a capped pipe left ready from construction, waiting on a fan. Activating one runs $550–$850, which is the activation-only price, not a full retrofit.
How close are you, really?
Next door, literally. Lakewood begins right where Golden's edge ends, and Martens Radon is based in Golden — so for most Lakewood addresses, especially the ones near that shared boundary, we're not driving across town to reach you. It's less a service radius and more a short trip from one side of the line to the other.
