Radon, a naturally occurring gas, can be severely damaging to your health. It is a colorless, odorless gas that can enter your home through cracks in the foundation walls and floors. Radon exposure is known to increase the risk of developing lung cancer. In fact, it is the second leading cause of lung cancer, smoking being the first.
The EPA and Surgeon General recommend that all homeowners and home buyers test for indoor radon within their home. It can be found in both new and old homes and homes with or without basements across the United States. Radon in your home can be a stressful experience. Our certified technicians can help educate and fix the problem. If you think you may have an issue with radon or need radon testing, contact us today!
“Radon is the leading cause of lung cancer for non-smokers and the second leading cause of lung cancer for the general population. The Surgeon General and EPA recommend testing for radon and reducing radon in homes that have high levels. Fix your home if your radon level is confirmed to be 4 picocuries per liter, pCi/L, or higher. Radon levels less than 4 pCi/L still pose a risk, and in many cases may be reduced. If you smoke and your home has high radon levels, your risk of lung cancer is especially high.” -EPA
