Every homeowner wants a safe and healthy environment for their family. While you may stay on top of obvious home maintenance tasks, some threats are less visible. One such silent invader is radon—an invisible, odorless gas that can seep into your home and pose serious health risks.
Understanding the Health Risks
Radon is the second leading cause of lung cancer, responsible for approximately 21,000 deaths each year in the United States alone. For non-smokers, it ranks as the number one cause of lung cancer. Long-term exposure to radon significantly increases your risk of developing lung cancer, making it crucial to be aware of radon levels in your home.
Why Test for Radon Now?
While testing for radon is vital at any time of the year, now is an especially good time to take action. The changing seasons affect indoor air quality. Heating use alters airflow, potentially affecting radon levels. Testing now aligns with seasonal changes, giving you an accurate snapshot of potential radon exposure during different weather conditions.
