Radon is a serious health concern that often goes unnoticed due to its odorless, tasteless, and invisible nature. According to the EPA, approximately 21,000 lung cancer deaths each year in the U.S. are attributed to radon exposure. It is the second leading cause of lung cancer after smoking. This harmful gas is produced by the natural decay of uranium found in soil and water, making it a potential threat to any home.

Why Test for Radon?

Radon can accumulate in homes, particularly in basements and lower levels, posing significant health risks to you and your family. Testing for radon is the only way to know if your home has elevated levels of this dangerous gas. Identifying and mitigating radon early can prevent long-term exposure and reduce the risk of radon-related health issues.
