Radon Testing in Kawkawlin MI

Kawkawlin MI Radon Testing

What’s Radon Gas?

Radon gas is a common-place cause of cancer. Radon is known to cause lung cancer in children and adults.

A large number of properties in the Kawkawlin MI area have a radon gas saturation above the DNS action level.

Radon filters out of the silt, not the home. No property, newly built or longstanding, is fully encapsulated against radon contamination.

Every house interacts with the topsoil beneath it differently. That is why houses next to each other have significantly different radon concentrations.

Radon accumulation will rise or fall daily and seasonally inside a reasonable range. A quick radon gas measurement measures a small period and a dependable bellwether of whether or not the house has a radon gas accumulation.

Radon gas has a half-life of about half a week. This means that radon gas concentration won’t be worse if the home is closed for months, days, or years.

How Does Radon Gas Filter into the house?

It may surprise you to know that homes are not sealed.

Gas may seep in through any penetration in the building such as drainage, pipeworks, and small flaws in the foundation.

The way to know with certainty the accumulation of radon gas in the house is to run a radon test.
