What is Radon? Where is Radon found?
Radon is a radioactive gas that has been found in homes all over the country and comes from the radioactive decay of uranium underground. According to the U.S. Surgeon General, indoor Radon gas is the second-leading cause of lung cancer in the United States. It is the number one cause of lung cancer among non-smokers, according to EPA estimates. Radon is responsible for about 23,000 lung cancer deaths every year. On January 13, 2005, Dr. Richard H. Carmona, the U.S. Surgeon General, issued a national health advisory on radon.
Radon can be found anywhere in the United States
Radon can be found in rock, soil, and water. From these sources it rises into the air we breathe. The amount of radon in the air is barely measurable. Radon permeates into all homes and other public buildings. Here it builds up to high levels that well exceed the EPA’s recommended standards for safety. The Surgeon General and the EPA recommend having all houses tested. Your family spends more than half of their day at home dining, watching television, or sleeping.
Radon Mitigation Systems
The most frequently used system is a sub-slab decompression system. These are inexpensive systems installed in your basement. They remove Radon from under your foundation prior to it entering your house. Radon levels are reduced well below the safety standards set by the EPA. This system also removes moisture from under your slab before it can enter your home which will reduce a significant portion of dampness that builds up while improving the indoor air quality of your home by up to 100%.
Radon Testing for New Constructions
The majority of radon mitigation work is done during a real estate transaction. When buying a new home, the majority of buyers have the property inspected for high levels of radon gas and demand that the seller take mitigation measures if the levels are above the advised guidelines.
