Radon Facts From the United States Enviromental Protection Agency Website:

Radon is a naturally occurring radioactive gas released in rock, soil and water that can build up to

dangerous levels inside any home; this means new and old homes, well sealed and drafty homes, and

homes with or without a basement. Radon gas is odorless and invisible and the only way to know if your

home has a radon problem is to test for it.

Breathing radon can increase your risk of lung cancer. Radon is the number one cause of lung cancer

among people who do not smoke. It is the second leading cause of lung cancer for people who do. EPA

estimates that radon causes more than 20,000 deaths from lung cancer each year in the U.S. If you smoke

and your home has a high radon level, your risk of lung cancer can increase even more.

Radon has been found in every state

Homes with high levels of radon have been found in every state. In fact, radon levels can vary greatly from

home to home--even levels next door can be very different.

Radon is measured in picocuries per liter of air (pCi/L), a measurement of radioactivity. In the United

States, the average indoor radon level is about 1.3 pCi/L. The average outdoor level is about 0.4 pCi/L. The

U.S. Surgeon General and EPA recommend fixing

homes with radon levels at or above 4 pCi/L. EPA

also recommends that people think about fixing

their homes for radon levels between 2 pCi/L and 4 pCi/L.

You should test for radon

Testing your house for radon is easy. If your

house has a radon problem, it can be fixed.

Fixing a radon problem reduces the risk of lung

cancer for you and your family. 

We recommend using a Florida Licensed Radon Proffesional that tests and installs the newests and most up to date Radon Mitigation systems available full time, rather than letting a Home inspector who only does part time occasional Radon testing, do the testing.
