What is Radon? Radon is a radioactive by-product of Uranium. Uranium is everywhere worldwide and cannot be avoided. Radon is a colorless, tasteless, gas that can permeate through the foundation. It is a decay product that comes from rock and natural substances throughout the earth. It is heavier than air that will congregate in basements, crawl spaces, or low lying areas in slab on grade homes.

Radon Mitigation systems are your next step in the process, ask how we can help connect you if your home test above the action level.
Radon is the second leading cause of lung cancer next to smoking. As stated above, it is a decay product of uranium and through natural decay the by-products of Radon (known as Alpha-Particles) attach to air molecules such as dust and once inhaled continue to decay inside the lungs of humans. It is through this decay in the lungs where cancer can begin to form as the DNA is broken apart.
