Keep Your Milwaukee Home Safe From Deadly Radon Gas
Radon is a radioactive, colorless, odorless, and tasteless gas that occurs naturally as a product of decaying uranium found in the earth’s crust. Radon escapes up through the ground as it turns to gas where it can be safely released into the air. Structures trapping these gases can cause health problems for the people inside. You can get your home tested by Wall to Wall Home Inspection Services LLC for unhealthy levels of radon gas.
Radon causes more deaths than drunk driving accidents. Long term exposure to radon can cause lung cancer and other health issues. It can get into your home through even the smallest cracks or gaps in your walls, floors, or building foundation. If a high amount of radon is detected in your home, filling in the cracks and adding a mitigation system in your home can solve the problem. Getting your home tested consistently can determine if your home is at risk. The EPA recommends testing your home every two years for Radon.
You get the result of our simple test in 48 hours. The crucial first step towards making your house safe is knowing your home’s radon levels.
How Does Radon Get Into Your Home?
Radon is a radioactive gas. It comes from the natural decay of uranium that is found in nearly all soils. It typically moves up through the ground to the air above and into your home through cracks and other holes in the foundation. Your home can trap radon inside and can get to levels that are unhealthy for you and your family. Any home can have a radon problem, new and old, well-sealed and drafty, with or without basements.
For your safety, the EPA recommends that your home be tested every two years for Radon.
Radon can enter a home through:
- Cracks in solid floors
- Construction joints
- Cracks in walls
- Gaps in suspended floors
- Gaps around services pipes
- Cavities inside walls
- The water supply
- Drain tile systems
