The Surgeon General of the United States has issued a Health Advisory warning Americans about the health risk from exposure to radon in indoor air......
"Dr. Carmona noted that more than 20,000 Americans die of
radon-related lung cancer each year." |

What is Radon? Radon is a naturally-occurring radioactive gas. The biggest source for Radon gas, in your indoor air or drinking water, is from the soil under and around your home or business. |
|
| |
Radon is an invisible, odorless and tasteless gas. It comes from the breakdown of uranium inside the earth.
 | Through rocks and soil, mixing with other soil gases along the way, Radon enters your home or business through cracks and openings in foundations. Like electricity, Radon looks for the “path of least resistance." |
|
|
Radon can also enter through drinking water supplies. Radon enters breathing air space after leaving the water during your shower, while you're cooking a meal, and other water use activities. See more info under water testing. |

| Why should you test for Radon? Radon is a health threat - but with a simple solution. The only way you will know if you and your family are at risk is to have your home or business tested by a qualified company, like us. "It's important to know that this threat is completely preventable. Radon can be detected with a simple test and fixed through well-established venting techniques." |
