Radon is the natural (radioactive) breakdown of uranium in soil, rocks, and water. Radon is odorless, invisible, tasteless gas that is undetectable by human senses. In gas form, it seeps up from the ground through the cracks of foundations, slabs, water, pipes, drainage systems, and well water systems. Radon gets trapped in houses and exposes people without them even knowing. The elderly and young can be more perceptible.
Radon is present in all 50 states and regulations set forth by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) suggest testing for it every 2 years. Homes that contain smokers are especially at risk.
Radon can be mitigated through professionally-installed vent systems and professionally-sealed cracks in basements. Radon mitigation can cost between $1000 and $2500 depending on levels, installed systems, and each individual contractor. They must be licensed. Only a well-trained mitigator should be running ventilation systems.
