Radon Test Kit

We check our smoke detectors and supervise children in water but too many families are breathing this hazardous gas without even knowing it. It takes years for the damage to show up. Don't wait. Test your home for and mitigate any problems.
Breathe safely.

How is Radon Harmful?

Radon is a radioactive gas, whose solid particles get trapped in human lungs and damage lung tissue, causing lung cancer. In fact, radon is the second most common cause of lung cancer in the US. The EPA predicts that each year, roughly 21,000 Americans succumb to lung cancer linked to radon.

What is a Passive Radon System? A passive radon system makes use of natural airflow and pressure differentials to remove radon gas from your house. These types of systems typically run from drain tiles/basement sump baskets up...

Where Does Radon Gas Come From?

Studies show that nearly 1 out of every 15 houses in the US and 6.9 % of houses in Canada have elevated radon levels.

This radioactive gas is fairly common worldwide, with 56 nations already responding to the W.H.O. radon survey.

​Many people know that radon causes lung cancer but don’t know its source. If that’s the case for you as well, this article sheds light on everything you need to know about the origin of radon gas, including what it is, where it comes from, how it causes cancer and other related FAQs.

Radon causes around 21,000 deaths in the United States each year. Radon is a natural gas that can build up inside your home. Take action to reduce levels and talk to your doctor about any concerns.

Testing for radon is very important since there are no radon symptoms until potentially severe lung damage has occurred.

Electronic monitors, measure radon continuously and can be set to take readings over a period of months or even years.

Alpha track detectors, on the other hand, are placed in the home for a set period of time (usually 90 days) and then sent to a lab to be analyzed.

The average indoor radon level in the United States is about 1.3 pCi/L. However, this number can vary significantly from home to home.

Long-term radon tests are used to test for radon over a period of more than 90 days. These tests are more accurate than short-term tests in terms of measuring your home's overall radon level.

Short-term radon tests are typically used to test for radon over a period of 2-90 days. These tests are the most common type of radon test, and they're relatively inexpensive.

Have you tested your home for radon this winter?

Can we STOP radon from entering our homes?

The answer is NO..!

The only way is to control it by installing a radon mitigation system that safely removes it from your home.

Radon is a naturally occurring radioactive substance that is everywhere – and as long as we have openings in our homes, it can get in.

The only way to know if your home is at risk for radon poisoning is to test for it.
