You can't see radon. And you can't smell it or taste it. But it may be a problem in your home.
Radon is estimated to cause many thousands of deaths each year. That's because when you
breathe air containing radon, you can get lung cancer. In fact, the Surgeon General has warned
that radon is the second leading cause of lung cancer in the United States today. Only smoking
causes more lung cancer deaths. If you smoke and your home has high radon levels, your risk
of lung cancer is especially high.
This is why it’s important to get radon mitigation services. The first step is simply to have a professional perform radon testing, which will determine if your home is safe. Once this is done, installing a radon mitigation system will be in order. Together, these will work to reduce radon in your home.
