Common Questions about Radon
Radon Questions and Answers
1. Is radon really dangerous?
Yes. Long-term exposure increases lung cancer risk. The radioactive particles in radon can damage lung tissue and lead to cancer. The EPA ranks radon as the #1 cause of lung cancer among non-smokers.
2. Is radon harmful to pets too?
Yes. Radon affects pets by increasing their risk of lung damage and cancer, similar to humans.
3. What level of radon is considered unsafe?
The EPA recommends fixing your home if levels are 4.0 pCi/L or higher - but even lower levels (2 - 4 pCi/L) can still pose a risk.
4. How does radon get into my house?
Radon seeps up from the soil through cracks in foundations, sump pumps, crawlspaces, or other openings - every home can have it, regardless of age or location.
5. How do you fix it? / What does mitigation involve?
A radon mitigation system uses a vent pipe and fan to pull radon gas from under your foundation and safely vent it outside. It's quick, quiet, and effective.
6. Will it really lower my levels?
Yes. Professional mitigation by a certified radon specialist typically reduces radon levels by up to 99%, bringing them well below the EPA's action level.
7. Will it affect my homes value?
No. In fact, having a mitigation system can increase buyer confidence and help your home sell faster.
8. Are there any ongoing costs or maintenance?
The fan runs continuously but uses minimal electricity (about the same as a light bulb), and systems that are installed properly require little to no maintenance and last for decades.
9. Do I need a lifetime warranty?
That's a great question. Most homeowners don't realize those "lifetime" warranties often come with conditions like - Only for the original owner, - doesn't cover fan replacement, - requires annual paid maintenance. Read the fine print, and be careful of paying more for something that should never have been needed. When installed properly with the highest quality materials, a radon mitigation system should last decades with minimal maintenance if any.

More Information on Radon Gas
The CDC states:
- Radon is an odorless and invisible radioactive gas naturally released from rocks, soil, and water.
- Radon can get trapped inside homes and buildings, and build up in the air.
- Over time, breathing in high levels of radon can cause lung cancer.
- Radon is the second leading cause of lung cancer deaths in the United States after cigarette smoke. The EPA and the Surgeon General's office estimate radon is responsible for more than 21,000 lung cancer deaths each year in the United States.
- Radon can build up in the air in any home or building whether it has a basement, is sealed or drafty, or is new or old. There is no known safe level of radon. You should always aim to have the lowest level. The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) recommends fixing your home if radon levels are 4 picoCuries per liter of air (pCi/L) or higher.
- The only way to know if you have unsafe levels of radon in your home or office is by testing.
