" A Radon inspector will look for vulnerabilities in your home that are contributing to the growing levels of this dangerous gas. The technicians will look for cracks, weak joints, exposed sump pumps, soil, well water, loose piping, cavities, and rocks that could allow the gas to percolate through to get to your home or office."

Since the gas is everywhere, it is good to know why you should be concerned. It is a known carcinogen, causing lung cancer. It is only second to smoking when it comes to causes of lung cancer. We breathe radon every day, but the concentration is low. However, the concentration of the gas can increase over time in sealed spaces.

Open ended homes complete with inflows and air outflows rarely have radon problems. However, such houses are energy inefficient. Because of insulation and closed home systems, radon gas tends to accumulate into homes. Most of the time it seeps through cracks, floor joints, sump pumps, loose piping, and any other fissure in the house.
