How Radon Gets Into Your Home?

Radon is a radioactive gas created by the natural decay of uranium found in nearly all soils. Radon typically seeps through the ground to the air above, then into your home through cracks and other holes in the foundation. Your home traps Radon inside, where it can build up.

In other instances, Radon can enter the home through well water; and in a small number of homes, building materials can give off Radon, too. However, building materials rarely cause radon problems by themselves.

Any home - new or old, well-sealed or drafty, with or without a basement - may have a Radon problem. The Home Examiner can quickly and easily test your home for Radon gas. It's a small price to pay for priceless peace of mind.
