Radon is a colorless, odorless, and tasteless radioactive gas that occurs naturally as a decay product of uranium in soil, rocks, and water. Radon can enter buildings (such as homes, hotels, schools, apartments, etc.) through the ground and can accumulate to potentially harmful levels, posing health risks to occupants upon prolonged exposure.
Given its radioactive nature, radon is a known carcinogen, and long-term inhalation of elevated levels has been associated with an increased risk of lung cancer. Radon testing and mitigation measures are crucial for identifying and addressing elevated radon levels in indoor environments, promoting healthier living and working conditions.
Radon doesn’t care how old your home is or where you live. It can seep in through any of the following:
Small or large cracks in the foundation of your home provide direct entry points for radon to seep in.
Points where different materials meet, such as floor-wall joints or wall-wall joints, can create openings for radon to enter.
Spaces around pipes and other penetrations in the foundation or walls can serve as entry points for radon gas.
Homes equipped with sump pump basins, designed to prevent flooding, may be vulnerable to radon entry through gaps in or around the sump pump.
Once inside the home, radon can be further distributed by ventilation systems, including heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) systems.
Radon can move through spaces within walls, especially if these spaces connect to the soil.
