Radon comes from the natural breakdown of uranium in soil and rock.  Radon enters a home because of air pressure and temperature differences between the home and the outside air.  Radon is a cancer-causing radioactive gas that you can’t see, smell or taste.  Its presences in your home can pose a danger to your family’s health.  Radon is a leading cause of lung cancer among non-smokers.  Radon is the second leading cause of lung cancer in America and claims about 21,000 lives annually.  

The Illinois Emergency Management agency (IEMA) strongly recommends all homeowners and home buyers test their current or prospective home for the presence of radon gas prior to purchase or taking occupancy, and mitigated if elevated levels are found.

A simple mitigation process can reduce the amount of radon to an acceptable level.  We test with continuous-read radon monitors.  Your family’s health is too important.  Schedule a radon test today.
