Why Care About Radon Gas?

Radon gas is a common-place carcinogen. Radon gas is well known to instigate lung cancer in people.

38%+ of houses in the Dalton Gardens ID area have a radon concentration above the carcinogenic amount.

Radon seeps out of the dirt, not the structure. No home, newly built or longstanding, is fully shielded from radon infiltration.

Each house meshes with the ground underneath it in a different way. This is why homes adjoining others can have dramatically different radon saturation.

Radon gas concentration will fluctuate every day and seasonally inside of a safe range. A one-time radon gas test is a snapshot and a reliable indicator of if the home has a radon saturation.

Radon gas has a dangerous duration of about half a week. That means radon gas levels won’t be any greater if the house is enclosed for months or years.

How Does Radon Gas Enter the dwelling?

No home is completely airtight.

Radon can seep in through every penetration in the property such as sump drains, pipes, and invisible gaps in the concrete slab or foundation.

Your method to know confidently the levels of radon in the structure is to have a radon test.
