Radon is an invisible, odorless gas that can seep into your home from the ground\u2014especially through basement floors and foundation cracks. Long-term exposure to high radon levels is the second leading cause of lung cancer in the U.S., according to the EPA.<\/p>\n
This guide explains what radon is, why testing matters, and how professional radon testing services can help you identify and mitigate this serious indoor air quality threat.<\/p>\n

Radon is a naturally occurring radioactive gas released from soil, rock, and water. It forms from the breakdown of uranium underground and enters homes through cracks in the foundation, basement walls, crawl spaces, or slab floors.<\/p>\n
Cracks in basement walls and floors<\/p>\n<\/li>\n
Gaps around pipes and drains<\/p>\n<\/li>\n
Crawl spaces with exposed soil<\/p>\n<\/li>\n
Sump pump pits or construction joints<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
Homes with basements or poor ventilation are especially vulnerable. Since radon is colorless and odorless, the only way to know your home\u2019s levels is through professional radon testing services.<\/p>\n
