Radon Mitigation

Radon Mitigation in Santa Fe

Professional Testing & Removal for Santa Fe County & Northern New Mexico

Radon is one of those home issues many people don’t think about until they hear a neighbor mention a test result or see a report about local groundwater concerns. It’s a naturally occurring radioactive gas, and in parts of Northern New Mexico, it can enter homes through soil, foundations, and even private water supplies. Homeowners searching for radon mitigation usually want clear information, reliable testing, and a practical way to reduce exposure without guesswork or scare tactics.

Roadrunner Air, Heating, Cooling, Plumbing & Electrical provides radon testing and mitigation services throughout Santa Fe County and Northern New Mexico, helping homeowners understand their risk and take informed action. Our team focuses on accurate testing, straightforward recommendations, and proven mitigation methods designed for local housing conditions.

The Risk of Radon in Your Water Supply

For homes that rely on private wells, radon in the water warrants serious attention. When water containing radon is agitated, such as through a faucet or showerhead, the gas escapes into the air you breathe, contributing to the overall radon load in your house. This "aeration" process can lead to elevated levels that go unnoticed for years because you cannot see, taste, or smell the gas.

Here is why addressing radon in your water is a priority for many local homeowners:

High-altitude concentrations – Our local geography often results in higher concentrations of uranium and radium in the soil, which are the elements that decay into radon gas.
Inhalation risks – The primary danger from radon in water comes from breathing the gas once it is released into the air, rather than just from drinking the water itself.
Well water vulnerability – Unlike municipal water systems that are treated and aerated before reaching your tap, private wells pull directly from the ground where radon levels are highest.
Seasonal fluctuations – Radon levels can shift with the seasons and changes in the water table, making regular testing a smart habit for any property owner.

Understanding these risks is the first step toward creating a safer environment for your family. Roadrunner Air, Heating, Cooling, Plumbing & Electrical provides the technical support needed to test your water accurately and determine if a mitigation system is necessary. We believe in providing the data you need to make an informed decision about your home's water treatment.

Effective Strategies for Radon Removal

Once elevated levels are confirmed through professional testing, the focus shifts to mitigation. The most effective way to handle radon in water is through a process called aeration or by using granular activated carbon (GAC) filters. These systems are installed at the point of entry where your water line first enters the home, catching the gas before it has a chance to reach your kitchen or bathroom.

Our team assists with various aspects of the mitigation process, including:

Professional water testing
Aeration system installation
GAC filter maintenance
Water treatment systems
System performance monitoring
Venting and exhaust routing

Implementing these mechanical solutions requires a thorough understanding of your home's plumbing and electrical systems. Roadrunner Air, Heating, Cooling, Plumbing & Electrical handles every detail of the installation to verify that the equipment is functioning at its peak. We focus on clean, professional setups that are easy for the homeowner to monitor and maintain over time.

When to Consider Radon Testing for Your Water

Many homeowners aren’t sure when to test for radon. While every home is different, certain situations make testing especially important. If you draw water from a private well, live in a known radon area, or are planning renovations or a home sale, testing can be a smart step.

You may want to schedule water radon testing if:

You rely on a private well or groundwater source
Your neighbors have measured elevated radon levels
You’re buying or selling a home and want clear documentation
Your home has never been tested, or it has been many years since the last test

Testing gives you real numbers instead of guesswork, which helps guide your next steps. Roadrunner Air, Heating, Cooling, Plumbing & Electrical provides straightforward recommendations based on your results and will discuss whether mitigation is appropriate for your situation.
