Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Your questions about radon and our mitigation services, answered.
What is radon, and why is it dangerous?
Radon is a naturally occurring radioactive gas that forms from the decay of uranium in soil and rock. It’s colorless, odorless, and tasteless — and it can seep into homes through cracks and gaps in the foundation. Prolonged exposure to high radon levels increases the risk of lung cancer, making it a serious health concern.

How do I know if my home has high radon levels?
The only way to know is through testing. We offer professional radon testing services that can determine the levels in your home quickly and accurately. If levels are at or above 4.0 pCi/L (the EPA action level), mitigation is recommended.
