Why You Should Test For
Radon?
What is Radon?
Radon is an odorless, tasteless, invisible and radioactive gas- a
natural by-product of decaying uranium. In outdoor air, radon is
diluted to such low concentrations that it is usually nothing to worry
about. However, once inside an enclosed space such as a home,
radon can accumulate and be extremely deadly. It is so dangerous
that next to smoking, radon was the second leading contributor to
lung cancer according to the EPA.
How does Radon get into my home?
Radon can move through small spaces in the soil and rocks on
which a house is built. It can enter a home through dirt floors,
cracks in concrete, joints, or through drains, sumps, and water
wells.
Who performs the test?

Environment led by John Niebauer. John is a registered engineer
and a licensed radon tester. John has flexible scheduling and is

Inspections with a report that will be given to our clients. Contact

What do I do if radon levels are too high?
Along with your specific test results, you will receive information on
how to conduct follow up tests to protect yourself in the future.
Often the home owner can correct the problem with sealants or
other products at a relatively low cost.
The first step is knowing if there is a problem to fix.
