About Radon

Radon is a cancer-causing natural radioactive gas that you can’t see, smell or taste. Its presence in your home can pose a danger to your family’s health. Radon is the leading cause of lung cancer among non-smokers. Radon is the second leading cause of lung cancer in America and claims about 20,000 lives annually. The only way to determine if you have a radon problem is to Test your Home for Radon. It is easy and inexpensive. Do-it-yourself test kits cost around $20. Radon Control Services, Inc. can professionally test your home with a Continuous Radon Monitor (CRM) for approximately $125. If you have a Radon Level at or above 4.0 pCi/L then you should Fix your Home. The U.S. Surgeon General and EPA recommend that all homes be tested.

Radon comes from the natural (radioactive) breakdown of uranium in the soil, rock and water and gets into the air you breathe. Radon can be found all over the U.S. It can get into any type of building – homes, offices, and schools – and result in a high indoor radon level. It doesn’t matter whether your house has a basement or a crawl space – either one can have high radon concentrations.

If you have high levels of radon in your home (at or above 4.0 pCi/L) – your radon problem can be fixed. Radon reduction systems work and they are not extremely costly. Even very high levels of radon can be reduced to acceptable levels. Radon Control Services, Inc. has successfully mitigated many homes with radon levels above 100 pCi/L!! Costs for radon mitigation systems run from $1,200.00 - $2,500.00 for standard systems, but please call for a specific quote for your home. We always give FREE estimates and GUARANTEE all of our systems to work.
