Novi MI Radon Testing

What to Know About Radon?

Radon is a dangerous cause of cancer. It is well known to cause lung cancer in humans.

Radon comes from the soil, not the house. No house, new or old, is exempt from radon gas infiltration.

Each house meshes with the ground underneath it in a different manner. This is part of the reason why properties next to others can have significantly different radon levels.

Radon gas concentration will fluctuate every day and seasonally inside an acceptable range. A one-time radon gas measurement measures a single day or week and is a reliable bellwether of whether or not the structure has a radon gas accumulation.

Radon gas has a lifespan of only days. As such, radon concentration will not be any greater if the house is sealed for months or years.

The way to know certainly the saturation of radon gas in the dwelling is to have a radon test.
