Did you get your home tested for Radon?

If not, then you probably are unaware of the dangers of high radon level. Radon is a dangerous gas that is generated from decay of uranium in the soil. It can easily seep into your home through cracks in the concrete floor or foundation. If the radon level in your home is too high, it can mean a number of possible reasons including:

• Foundation cracks
• Concrete Floor or foundation cracks
• Leaking cove/cold joint

The Dangers of Radon

Radon is a cancer causing gas that can easily enter your home through small cracks in the foundation and crack in the concrete floor in your basement. According to EPA, it is responsible for 21,000 lung cancer deaths per year in the US alone. #1 leading cause of lung cancer in non-smokers.

Moreover, a higher radon level can significantly reduce the overall value of the property. Therefore, it is extremely important to get it fixed even if you do not plan to use the space personally. Radon mitigation systems can help in the fight against radon and sealing all the cracks and joints should also be on your to do list for radon prevention.

The Optimum Radon Level

A very small concentration, almost 0.4 pCi/L, of radon is found in the air we breathe outside. Since this is considered the safe level, radon level in your home must ideally be that low as well. However, the minimum radon level achievable indoors is 1.3 pCi/L. A home is considered extremely dangerous to live in if the radon level is higher than 4 pCi/L.

Since radon is a radioactive gas, the Nuclear Regulatory Commission states that a person living in a home with radon levels of 4 pCi/L is exposed to 35 times more radiations than a person standing near a radioactive waste site.
