Radon Testing in Milliken - Critical for Weld County

Warning: Milliken is located in Weld County, which has some of the highest radon levels in Colorado. Radon testing is not optional here - it's essential for your family's health.

Radon is a naturally occurring radioactive gas that seeps up from the ground. It's colorless, odorless, and the second leading cause of lung cancer after smoking. Weld County's geological composition produces elevated radon levels throughout the area.

Milliken Radon Facts

  • Most Milliken homes test above the EPA action level of 4.0 pCi/L
  • New construction is NOT protected - radon comes from the soil, not building materials
  • Basement and slab-on-grade homes both need testing
  • Levels can vary significantly between neighboring homes
  • Mitigation is effective and typically costs $1,000-$1,500

We use 48-hour continuous electronic monitoring with certified equipment for accurate results. This professional-grade testing provides hour-by-hour data, not just a single reading.

Well Water Testing for Milliken Properties

Many Milliken properties rely on private wells for their water supply. Unlike municipal water, well water is not monitored by any agency - testing is the homeowner's responsibility.

Well System Testing ($350 with inspection / $450 standalone)

  • Well pump inspection and performance testing
  • Pressure tank evaluation
  • Flow rate measurement
  • Visual inspection of well components
  • Water quality screening

Water Bacteria Testing ($220)

Coliform bacteria and E. coli testing is essential for well water safety. Bacteria can enter wells through:

  • Cracked well casings
  • Improper well caps
  • Flooding or surface water intrusion
  • Nearby septic system failures
  • Agricultural runoff

Recommendation: If buying a Milliken home on well water, get both the well system test and bacteria test. Annual bacteria testing is recommended after purchase.

New Construction in Milliken

Milliken is experiencing growth with new residential development. While new homes may seem perfect, they often have issues that only an independent inspector will catch:

Common New Construction Defects

  • HVAC problems: Systems not properly commissioned, incorrect refrigerant charge
  • Grading and drainage: Water flowing toward foundation instead of away
  • Missing insulation: Gaps in attic, walls, or around penetrations
  • Window and door issues: Improper installation, missing hardware
  • Plumbing concerns: Leaks, improper venting, water heater issues
  • Electrical defects: Missing covers, improper wiring

City inspectors verify minimum code compliance - they don't check quality or workmanship. An independent inspection protects your investment.

11-Month Warranty Inspection

If you already own a new Milliken home, schedule your warranty inspection in month 11 - before the builder's 1-year warranty expires. We document defects so you get free repairs instead of paying out of pocket after the warranty ends.

Sewer Scope Inspection

For established Milliken homes, sewer scope inspection is highly recommended. This $150 video inspection examines your sewer line from the house to the street connection.

What We Look For

  • Root intrusion: Tree roots growing into pipes
  • Bellied pipes: Sections that have sunk and collect waste
  • Cracks and breaks: Structural damage to the line
  • Blockages: Buildup or obstructions
  • Improper connections: Previous repairs done incorrectly

Sewer line replacement can cost $5,000-$15,000 or more. A $150 inspection before purchase can save you from inheriting a major problem.

Mold Testing Services

Mold testing in Milliken costs $150 and includes professional air quality sampling. This service is recommended if you notice:

  • Musty or earthy odors
  • Visible mold growth
  • Recent water damage or flooding
  • Unexplained allergy symptoms in the home
  • High humidity or condensation issues

Our testing identifies mold spore types and concentrations, helping determine if professional remediation is needed and what type of mold is present.

Termite/WDO Inspection

Wood-destroying organism (WDO) inspections check for termites, carpenter ants, wood-boring beetles, and wood rot. While Colorado is not a high-termite state, these pests do exist and can cause significant damage.

  • With home inspection: $50
  • Standalone service: $195

WDO inspections are often required for VA and FHA loans. Even if not required, they provide peace of mind about the structural integrity of the home.

Existing Home (under 1 year): 11-month warranty inspection + radon if not done at purchase.

Established Home (5+ years): Full inspection + radon + sewer scope. Older sewer lines need evaluation.

Home on Well Water: Add well system testing + water bacteria testing. Essential for safe drinking water.
