What Is Radon Gas?
Radon is a naturally occurring radioactive gas formed from the breakdown of uranium in soil and rock. It enters homes through small openings and can accumulate indoors to dangerous levels.
Because it is invisible and odorless, testing is the only way to detect it.
Why Radon Testing Matters
- Radon is the second leading cause of lung cancer
- It cannot be seen, smelled, or tasted
- Any home can have elevated levels, regardless of age or condition
- Long-term exposure increases serious health risks
How Radon Enters a Home
Radon can enter through:
- Cracks in foundations or concrete slabs
- Gaps around pipes and utility lines
- Construction joints and wall openings
- Crawl spaces or poorly sealed areas
Even newer homes can have radon issues depending on construction and soil conditions.
