Radon is a radioactive gas that forms naturally in the earth and can pose a significant health risk when concentrated in buildings. It is the second leading cause of lung cancer in the United States, estimated to cause about 21,000 lung cancer deaths each year.
Radon can enter homes through cracks in the foundation, gaps around pipes, and even through well water. The only way to know if your home has elevated levels of radon is to test for it.
If high levels are detected, it's important to install a radon mitigation system to reduce the risk.
If you have concerns about radon gas in your home, don't hesitate to contact us or call us at (855) DRY-BSMT.

Follow the instructions that come with the kit and EPA guidelines so the result is accurate.
The laboratory sends you the results. If your home is at or above the EPA action level of 4.0 pCi/L, a radon mitigation system is the fix.

Weatherization options for homes can potentially worsen radon gas issues by efficiently sealing the home, trapping gasses inside. Older homes with loose seals may allow radon to dissipate more easily. It's important to think critically about home improvements and their unintended consequences.
The EPA provides information on local radon zones and measurement professionals.
Approach weatherization with a critical mindset, weighing benefits against potential drawbacks like increased radon accumulation. Improving critical thinking skills helps homeowners make informed decisions about their home's health and safety. The DOE provides information on the Home Energy Rating System (HERS) to measure home energy efficiency.
If you suspect weatherization is contributing to high radon levels, take action. Improve your critical thinking to identify the best course of action, such as testing for radon and implementing mitigation strategies.
