Radon Is a Dangerous Radioactive Gas That You Can’t See or Smell
Class A Carcinogen
Prolonged radon exposure is the #1 cause of lung cancer for non-smokers, and #2 for smokers.
Testing is the only way to detect radon.
Radon is a colorless, odorless gas that seeps into buildings and homes undetected. We use state-of-the-art equipment to accurately measure radon levels.
Colorado & the Midwest have some of the highest radon levels in the nation
Colorado and the Midwest sit on granite, which naturally contains uranium that produces radon as it decays in the soil. Radon concentration levels are especially high in these areas during winter.

We’ve been safeguarding air quality for over 20 years.
She is fully committed to safety and doing things the right way. I have referred Jeanine to so many friend at this point and all of them have thanked me for the introduction.
If you are looking for a thorough and comprehensive hygienist then MARS is the choice.

Thank you Jeanine, Lindsay and Brooke. I hope it's okay to use your names! If not, tell me and I'll edit them out!

Our house was in the heart of the Eaton Fire. It was left standing but smoke damaged. For four months, our insurer downplayed the health risks, offering to essentially wet wipe the walls and vacuum our bed after their own test found lead. They didn't address VOCs, SVOCs, heavy metals, though.
We knew that getting our own testing was the only way to push for a more thorough remediation. M.A.R.S came highly recommended by fire survivors in Colorado, also by local word of mouth, even by other industrial hygeniests and folks at United Policy Holders.
Jeanine fit us into one of the weekend trips she'd been doing to the Eaton Fire Scar this spring. And she tailored our tests to address our needs for our claim, and our financial limits. She asked for our prior test results so she could make sure she was only running tests we needed.
On the day, she showed up early. I was thrilled when she said we didn't need to enter the house. Also, her team wore protective gear. (For four months, everyone -- the insurance adjuster, other IH's, and others -- would enter the house casually, often with no masks or PPE, as if it were no big deal. I felt subtly peer-pressured to go in unmasked myself, to take and wash things, and now regret it.)
The results took a while, but the labs have been swamped, and M.A.R.S. was in touch. And when the results did come in, the level of detail and care with which Jeanine laid out her report was remarkable. And her explanations of results rigorously supported her recomendations. She included and referred to all the prior results. And she is up to date on current and emerging science and standards.
In many ways, the new results were bad news (the highest levels of Dioxins she'd seen in the area as well as Beryllium, which we're now learning has shown up in unprecedented levels in the Eaton Soot and Ash), but at least we are now armed with data.
I'm trying to think of constructive criticism, but I really just feel gratitude for Jeanine, Rebecca, and the whole team.
We're still going to have to fight to get the insurance to follow her recommendations so it's all still an ongoing nightmare. That said, the two moments of greatest relief I've felt since the fire were, first, when the M.A.R.S. team showed up at our house, and then later, when Jeannine sent our results. She's smart and talented, and I believe that she does this work because she genuinely cares about protecting people's health. She's a methodical hero :), a literal lifesaver!
I received appointment reminders via text and email. The tester/employee showed up on time and I received a results phone call within 24 hours. I know I'll receive the emailed results within another work day, but they were able to call and give me the peace of mind sooner rather than later.
If you're looking for a quick and professional company, I'd highly recommend MARS Environmental.

Radon Testing & Mitigation Process
1
Quote & Schedule
Consult with an air quality professional for an instant quote & service appointment.
2
Air Testing
- Single Family Residential: We use a Continuous Radon Monitor (CRM) for most testing, and provide aircheck devices after mitigation at no charge.
- Commercial: After distributing advance notice to occupants, a certified technician positions aircheck devices in all necessary levels and rooms of the property in compliance with state and federal standards for multi-family, HUD housing, school & childcare facilities.
3
Fast Results
After 48 hours of closed conditions, a technician returns to process data & remove equipment.
- Single Family Residential: Immediate results upon pickup
- Commercial: Lab results available next business day
The EPA action level for radon is 4.0 pCi/L; however, we recommend mitigation between 2-4 pCi/L as radon fluctuates over time, and levels increase in the winter due to the frozen ground trapping radon in homes.

FAQs
It is important to test for radon prior to any real estate transaction and then again every 2-3 years to ensure safety and verify that the mitigation system is operating properly.
With a passive system built into the foundation, you avoid visible equipment on the building exterior and take advantage of an organic venting solution that doesn’t require electricity or contribute to utility bills. At most, the addition of a fan can activate the system to keep radon levels at a minimum. The cost of fixing a radon problem can be significantly more expensive than preventing one.
Radon is measured in picocuries/liter (pCi/L) and the EPA standard is < 4.0 pCi/L. Our mitigation services come with the guarantee that your levels will stay at or below 3.9 pCi/L.
If radon testing reveals elevated levels, don’t panic. M.A.R.S. Environmental can design and install a custom system tailored to your property. Radon mitigation systems can effectively reduce radon concentrations. These systems typically involve venting radon gas from the soil beneath your property out to the exterior so it can’t affect indoor air quality.
Well-maintained mitigation systems and fan components should last for many years, but it is important to retest your property every 2-3 years and inspect the system to verify proper function.
