General FAQs

What is radon, and why is it a concern?

Radon is a naturally occurring radioactive gas that is colorless, odorless, and tasteless. It seeps into homes through cracks in the foundation, walls, or other openings. Long-term exposure to high levels of radon is the second leading cause of lung cancer in the United States, making it crucial to test and mitigate if necessary.

How do I know if my home has high radon levels?

The only way to detect radon is through testing. You can use a DIY radon test kit or hire a certified professional to conduct a radon test. If your home's radon level is at or above 4.0 pCi/L the EPA recommends taking action to reduce it.

What does a radon mitigation system do?

A radon mitigation system reduces radon levels in your home by safely venting the gas outside. The most common system is a sub-slab depressurization system, which uses pipes and a fan to redirect radon from beneath the home’s foundation to the outdoors.
