All About Radon

Radon is a colorless, odorless, and tasteless radioactive gas that is formed naturally from the decay of uranium in soil, rock, and water. It can seep into homes through cracks in the foundation, walls, floors, gaps around pipes, and other openings. Radon can accumulate to dangerous levels indoors, posing serious health risks to occupants.

The primary concern with radon exposure is its link to lung cancer. Radon is the second leading cause of lung cancer after smoking and is responsible for thousands of lung cancer deaths each year worldwide. 

When radon gas is inhaled, it decays into radioactive particles that can damage the cells lining the lungs. Over time, this damage can lead to lung cancer.

High levels of radon in indoor air pose a significant health risk, particularly over the long term. Testing can help you determine if radon levels in your home are within safe limits or if mitigation measures are needed to reduce exposure.

• According to the EPA, no level of Radon is safe. However, the EPA has also set an action level of 4.0pCi/L

We only specialize in radon testing. If you have elevated radon levels, we would be happy to go over your mitigation options and recommend one of our mitigation partners.
