Radon and My Home – What do I need to know?
Radon is a cancer-causing, radioactive gas. The U.S. Surgeon General has warned that radon is the second leading cause of lung cancer in the United States, next to smoking. Radon is estimated to cause thousands of deaths in the U.S. each year.
Radon can be found all over the U.S. Radon comes from the natural (radioactive) breakdown of uranium in soil, rock, and water – and gets into the air you breathe. Radon can get into any type of building – homes, offices, schools, etc., and results in a high indoor radon level. You and your family are most likely to get your greatest exposures at home, where you spend the most time.
How does Radon get into your home? Because Radon is a gas, it can get in where solids cannot. Common problems allowing radon to enter homes include:
1. Cracks in solid floors
2. Construction joints
3. Cracks in walls
4. Gaps in suspended floors
5. Gaps around service pipes
6. Cavities inside walls
7. The water supply

The EPA debunks 10 myths about radon Part 1
Myth 1: Scientists are not sure that radon really is a problem.
Fact: Although some scientists dispute the precise number of deaths due to radon, all the major health organizations (like the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, the American Lung Association and the American Medical Association) agree with estimates that radon causes thousands of preventable lung cancer deaths every year. This is especially true among smokers, since the risk to smokers is much greater than to non-smokers.
Myth 2: Radon testing is difficult, time-consuming and expensive.
Fact: Radon testing is easy. You can test your home yourself or hire a qualified radon test company. Either approach takes only a small amount of time and effort.
Myth 3: Homes with radon problems can't be fixed.
Fact: There are simple solutions to radon problems in homes. Thousands of homeowners have already fixed radon problems. Most homes can be fixed for about the same cost as other common home repairs.
Myth 4: Radon affects only certain kinds of homes.
Fact: Radon can be a problem in homes of all types: old homes, new homes, drafty homes, insulated homes, homes with basements, and homes without basements. Local geology, construction materials, and how the home was built are among the factors that can affect radon levels in homes.
Myth 5: Radon is only a problem in certain parts of the country.
Fact: High radon levels have been found in every state. Radon problems do vary from area to area, but the only way to know your radon level is to test. In Utah, 1 in 3 homes has dangerous levels of radon.

It doesn’t matter if your home is new or old, big or small, radon creeps into your house.
Radon is the second leading cause of cancer after smoking. It’s important to understand what your level of radon means. This chart shows the danger of high levels of radon in your home by comparing it to smoking cigarettes. The EPA recommends to fix your home if your radon level is 4 pCi/L (picocuries per liter) or higher. Radon levels less than 4 pCi/L still pose a risk, and in many cases may be to be reduced
Did you know?
- 1 in 3 homes have dangerous levels of radon in Utah, and in the United States, 1 in 15 homes have dangerous levels of radon.
- Second to smoking, radon is the leading cause of lung cancer.
- Every year radon poisoning causes over 22,000 deaths.
- Radon isn’t easily detectable. It is odorless, tasteless, and colorless.
- Pets living in the home are susceptible to radon poisoning.

High levels of radon is dangerous to your health. Get your home tested to find out if you’re safe.
Got high levels? We can help! Give us a call!
Radon is everywhere! The question isn’t do you have radon in your home, it’s how much radon is in your home.
Any radon levels above 4 pCi/L SHOULD be mitigated . It’s strongly recommended to consider a radon system if levels are above 2 pCi/L.
Did You Know?
-Radon is the second leading cause of lung cancer after smoking.
-High radon levels have been found in every state.
-Levels can vary widely, even from home to home in the same neighborhood.
-Radon levels can be lowered, and new homes can be built radon-resistant.

Radon Be Gone
One of our projects right now is installing radon systems into apartments in St. George. Did you know we travel across all of Utah? Including areas of Idaho, Nevada, and Wyoming.
WHAT’S IN A NUMBER?
When it comes to understanding your risk from radon exposure, your number means a lot. Radon is measured in picocuries per liter of air (pCi/L). 4.0 pCi/L is the level established by the US EPA for action --- any building testing above this level should be fixed. The EPA still suggest home owners to consider fixing homes with radon levels from 2-4 pCi/L.
High radon levels can be a risk anywhere in any state. Old homes and new homes, with and without basements can have a
radon problem. And two houses right next door to each other can have very different radon levels. The only way to know if a home or other building contains elevated radon levels is to have it tested.
Where a problem exists, steps should be taken to correct the issue through proven mitigation techniques.
