Do you know what radon gas is?
Radon is invisible, its odorless, its a gas that can creep up and into the home and into the cracks in basement floors, concrete walls and foundations. You will not see radon. You won't smell it nor will you taste it.
Radon comes from the natural breakdown of uranium in soil, rock and water. Radon gas escapes from the ground into the air outside. When radon mixes with the air outside, it’s not a problem: the air outside dilutes the amount of radon. But when radon seeps into a closed-in space like a house, it can be harmful. The radon gas can become trapped inside. You and your family can breathe in high levels of radon without knowing it.
Research shows that radon comes from naturally-occurring radioactive elements breaking down in the soils and rocks beneath the home. When this radioactive decay process happens, the toxic gas is produced. The radon gas moves up from the soil and to the surface. In this process it can enter the home by way of seeping through foundation holes or cracks. It does not matter if the home is old or new, any home can have an elevated radon situation. Call us

How does Radon effect your health?
Radon can cause havoc on the body. It is the second leading cause of cancer of the lungs. The process takes place when radon particles break down and form into radioactive particles that become stuck or lodged inside the tissue of the lungs. This happens as you breathe. Energy is released from these particles that damage the cells in lungs. If these cells get damaged, your lungs are damaged when lung cancer develops.
For smokers who live in a home with a high radon levels, it can be an even higher risk of lung cancer
