Radon is a colorless, odorless radioactive gas that comes from the natural breakdown (decay) of uranium in soil and rocks.
Elevated levels of indoor radon have been found in homes in every county of Ohio. Every year approximately 50% of all homes tested in Ohio have elevated levels of radon.
Exposure to elevated levels of radon over the course of your lifetime increases your risk of developing lung cancer. The surgeon general has warned that radon is the second leading cause of lung cancer in the United States. Radon is also the leading cause of lung cancer among non-smokers. Smoking greatly increases your risk of getting lung cancer from radon exposure.
Radon moves into your home by migrating through cracks or openings in the foundation. Any home can have elevated levels of radon, whether or not you have a basement and regardless of if your home is old or new.
Radon Gas is a silent killer that can cause serious health problems over time. Our radon testing services can help you determine the level of radon in your home or business. If test results are near or above 4 picoCuries per liter of air, you will be guided to take the confident steps needed to mitigate your structure. We use state of the art electronic testing devices which offer a written report when testing and analysis of data is complete. Any type of testing needs a minimum of 48 hours to collect air samples per Ohio State guidelines. The Ohio Bureau of Environmental Health and Radiation Protection suggests homes and business structures be tested every 2 years, even if it has a mitigation system already installed.
