Radon Testing Services for
Residential & Commercial Properties
Radon is a dangerous, colorless, odorless, and tasteless gas caused by the natural decay of uranium in soil. It seeps into homes and buildings through porous cement, sump pumps, foundation cracks, and crawl spaces. Radon exposure can lead to severe health risks, including lung cancer. In fact, radon is the second leading cause of lung cancer and the number one cause for non-smokers, claiming 22,000 lives annually in the United States.
Every home is at risk of radon exposure, regardless of age, construction, or location. The United States Environmental Protection Agency (USEPA) estimates that 30-40% of tested homes have elevated radon levels requiring intervention. To safeguard your property and loved ones, it is crucial to perform radon testing.
Understanding Radon: Origins, Exposure, and Entry Points
Radon originates from the natural decay of uranium found in almost all soils. As uranium breaks down into radium and radon gas, it moves up through the soil and into the air we breathe. Indoor spaces, especially homes, are highly susceptible to radon concentration and pose the greatest risk for exposure.
Radon enters homes through various pathways and air pressure differences between the interior and exterior. Pathways include openings between the home and soil, while air pressure differences draw radon gas into the home. Each property has unique factors that contribute to radon accumulation.
