What you need to know about Radon?

Radon is a radioactive gas which is released as a result of the normal decay of Uranium present in rocks and soil. The levels of this dangerous gas can be higher in well-insulated homes which are tightly sealed or those which are built on an Uranium-rich soil. Whether your home is new or old, it doesn’t matter as Radon can easily enter through cracks in floors, walls or even the foundation. As a matter of fact, approximately one in every 15 homes in the US is estimated to have an elevated Radon level of 4 pCi/L or more.
