How Radon Moves Into Your Home
A radon measurement will show radon levels inside a home and indicate whether mitigation is necessary. Radon is the second leading cause of lung cancer. Radon is a colorless, odorless, tasteless radioactive gas that's formed during the natural breakdown of uranium in soil, rock, and water. Radon exits the ground and can seep into your home through cracks and holes in the foundation. Radon gas can also contaminate well water.
