Here are answers to the most common ones — designed to help you understand the risks and solutions.

Radon is a naturally occurring, colorless, odorless gas produced by the breakdown of uranium in soil and rock. It can seep into your home through cracks in the foundation and build up to unsafe levels indoors.

Radon is the second leading cause of lung cancer in the United States, according to the EPA. Long-term exposure to elevated radon levels can damage lung tissue, even in non-smokers.

How do I know if my home has radon?
The only way to know is through radon testing. Radon cannot be seen, smelled, or tasted, so testing is essential for all homes, regardless of age, style, or location.

When should I test for radon?

The EPA recommends taking action if radon levels are 4.0 pCi/L (picocuries per liter) or higher. Some homeowners choose to mitigate at levels above 2.0 pCi/L for extra safety.

A mitigation system uses a vent pipe and fan to draw radon gas from beneath your home and safely release it outside, preventing it from entering your living space.
