Radon, does your house have it? Only 1 way to find out.
You can't see or smell radon. So what the heck is it?
What is radon?
Here are the basics about radon:
Radon is a radioactive gas that comes from the soil. It is colorless and odorless.
Radon comes from the natural breakdown of the uranium found in most rocks and soils.
Any home, new or old, can have a radon problem.
Radon levels can vary from house to house.
The EPA recommended Action Level is 4.0 pCi/l. This means that if you have a radon test at your home and the levels come back higher than 4.0 pCi/l you should seriously consider installing a mitigation system at your home. Mitigation systems average $800-$1200.00 or more.
Radon is the second leading cause of lung cancer, exceeded only by smoking.
