Why Radon Testing Could Help
|
You cannot see or smell the presence of radon.
You cannot see, smell or detect when radon is present in your home or any building. Radon gas is the second leading cause of lung cancer, next to smoking, taking approximately 14,000 lives each year, according to the National Safety Council.
Radon enters a home through cracks in floors, walls, floor drains, drain systems, sump pits, construction joints and exposed soil in crawlspaces. Homes with well water can develop concentrations of radon through showering and doing laundry. The EPA, Surgeon General, the American Lung Association and the American Medical Association all recommend testing for radon as a health precaution.
Radon testing is not complicated. Only a simple test is required to obtain the information you need. Homes with elevated radon levels can usually be corrected for less than $1000.
