Radon is a naturally occurring radioactive gas.

 

It comes from the decay of uranium that is found in nearly all soils. Radon gas is colorless, odorless, and without taste. The presence of radon in a home cannot be detected by human senses. The only way to know if your home contains radon gas is to test. EPA recommends that homes with high Radon concentration above 4 pCi/L be mitigated. There are many straight-forward reduction techniques that will work in almost any home.

*Radon levels are affected by many factors including type of heating system, cracks and openings, tightness

of the home, air pressure and flow of air through the home, soil pressure on the sidewalls and under slab.

*The Radon concentration under the foundation is the primary factor for the levels in the home.  Older homes are no more likely to fail than a newer one. It depends on the Radon concentration in the soil.

*All homes can be fixed.

*For Real Estate testing the EPA recommends using electronic equipment with safeguards and the testing be done by a certified Radon tester.
