Radon Mitigation in Cimarron Hills, CO

Cimarron Hills is an unincorporated community on the east side of the metro area, sitting between Colorado Springs city limits and Peterson Space Force Base. It developed principally between the 1960s and the 1980s, and it remains one of the more affordable established markets in the county.

The housing is predominantly modest single-story and split-level homes on slab or over crawl space, with a smaller share of full basements than the north side neighborhoods. Footprints are compact and rectangular, which is genuinely good news for radon work: a straightforward house shape on a single foundation type usually means one suction point, a short pipe run, and a bid at the lower end of the county range.

The complicating factor is age. Slabs poured between forty and sixty years ago in this area have generally seen some soil movement, and control joints and floor-wall joints have opened accordingly. Sealing work is part of most installs here, and a mitigator who skips it will produce a system that runs but never quite achieves the pressure field it should.

Garage conversions and enclosed patios are common in this housing stock and frequently create an untreated slab section adjoining the main foundation. Those transitions need identifying before design, not after.

Proximity to Peterson means a meaningful share of homes are owned by military families or held as rentals, which brings the same transaction-timeline pressure and landlord disclosure considerations that apply in Fountain, though at somewhat lower volume.

The area is unincorporated and permits through El Paso County and the Pikes Peak Regional Building Department. HOA coverage is limited compared to the master-planned north side, so exterior routing is usually unconstrained.
