Radon Exposure Health Risks: What You Need to Know
We know radon can be a concern for your family. Below are the most common questions homeowners ask our experts, explained in simple terms.
Common Questions
What exactly is radon gas?
How does radon enter my home?
Radon is a naturally occurring gas that comes from the ground. It has no smell, taste, or color, so a professional test is the only way to know if it is present in your home.
The gas seeps in through small cracks in your foundation, gaps around pipes, or even through the pores in concrete walls. Any home—new or old—can have high radon levels.
Is it a health risk for my family?
Yes, your health is our priority. Long-term exposure to radon is the leading cause of lung cancer for non-smokers. Since it builds up quietly over time, acting early keeps everyone safe.
When should I test my home?
We recommend testing every two years for total peace of mind. It is also a smart and vital step if you are currently buying or selling a house.
Are some areas higher risk?
While states like Pennsylvania have higher natural levels, radon can be found in any home. Neighborhood averages are useful, but a test is the only way to be sure about your house.
What level is concerning?
Health experts recommend taking action if your levels are at 4.0 pCi/L or higher. Our goal is always to bring those levels as low as possible for your safety.
Can high radon levels be fixed?
Absolutely. We install effective systems that safely vent the gas away from your home. These mitigation solutions are proven, affordable, and tailored to your specific foundation.
