Radon is a naturally occurring radioactive gas that you can’t see, smell, or taste — but it could be in your home right now.
It forms when uranium in soil, rock, and water breaks down over time. As this gas rises from the ground, it can seep into buildings through:
Cracks in foundations
Gaps around pipes and wires
Crawl spaces and sump pumps
Once inside, radon can build up to dangerous levels — especially in basements or lower levels where ventilation is limited.
Radon is the second leading cause of lung cancer in the United States — second only to smoking. In fact:
The EPA estimates over 20,000 lung cancer deaths each year are linked to radon exposure.
If you're a smoker, your risk from radon exposure is even higher.
You won’t know if your home has radon unless you test for it.
Since you can’t detect radon with your senses, a professional radon test is the only way to know your home’s levels.
We use certified radon monitoring devices that:
Are placed in your home for 48 hours
Collect hourly data
Deliver a full digital report on radon levels
The result is measured in picoCuries per liter (pCi/L). The EPA recommends mitigation if your home measures at or above 4.0 pCi/L.
Yes. Montgomery County and surrounding areas sit on naturally high radon-emitting soil and rock. Even homes that are right next to each other can have wildly different radon levels — meaning every home needs to be tested individually.
We’ll guide you through next steps, which may include installing a radon mitigation system:
These systems safely vent radon out of the home
They are quiet, permanent, and highly effective
Most systems reduce radon levels by 90% or more
