Radon is a naturally occurring radioactive gas you can't see, feel taste, or smell.

Radon is an invisible gas formed in the Earth's crust. It surrounds every one of us as part of the air we breathe.

The rocks and soil beneath our homes contain traces of uranium. Over time, the uranium breaks down and forms other elements. This is called radioactive decay. Radon is one link in the decay chain of uranium.

Radon is the number one cause of lung cancer among non-smokers. If considered as a separate disease, lung cancer in people who have never smoked would rank seventh in global cancer mortality.

Approximately 21,000 people die from radon-related lung cancer every year in the United States alone.

All the while, some people still think radon poisoning is nothing but "hype," and it's nothing we need to worry about.

In the article below, we will go over ten myths about radon that have been busted by the EPA.

If you know a little bit about radon, you know that it can get into your home through cracks in the foundation of your home.

Because of that, we are often asked if coating basement floors can help mitigate radon.

Many people who ask this question aren't sure if they have a radon problem or not, they just want to get ahead of it if they do.

Our first recommendation is to test your home for radon to see if you have elevated levels.

If you do have elevated levels, you should install a radon mitigation system with a trusted company like Radon Eliminator.

But, does an epoxy coating on your basement floor help in the fight against elevated levels of radon?

In the article below, we will talk about epoxy coatings and other floor sealing systems and their impact on radon transmission into your home.

Did you know that lung cancer is the second most common type of cancer in adults in the United States? 

It is also the leading cause of death from cancer.

Treatment for lung cancer is much more effective when the disease is caught in its earlier stages. 

Unfortunately, though, most people with lung cancer do not experience symptoms until the disease has spread.

Some people do experience subtle symptoms of early-stage lung cancer, but these symptoms more often stem from other health issues or factors such as smoking.

Most people know that smoking is the leading cause of lung cancer deaths in the United States.

Many people have no idea that the second leading cause of lung cancer is due to exposure to radon gas. 

Long term exposure to elevated levels of radon gas in your home will put you and your family at risk for lung cancer.

In the article below, we describe early symptoms of lung cancer, when to see a doctor, and testing your home for radon.

Radon is dangerous. Read our blog post "Radon is Deadlier Than What?" to learn more.

If there is a radioactive gas in your home, you definitely want to know if you're being exposed to it.

Radon is a dangerous, potentially deadly radioactive gas that can be affecting millions of people every single day.

Radon can be found in the soil under our houses, where it can eventually seep into our water and the air inside of your home.

So, how do you know if you're being exposed to radon?

We'll answer that question below.

Purchasing a new home can be stressful and exciting all at the same time. 

In addition to choosing your dream home that suits your budget and lifestyle, you have to be sure it's in good structural condition and harbors no hazards.

You can't see it, smell it, or taste it, but radon gas is the second leading cause of lung cancer right behind cigarette smoking.

Many of us also know the number one cause of lung cancer is cigarette smoke.

Fewer people know about radon, the second leading cause of lung cancer in the U.S. 

Fortunately, we are seeing more and more efforts encouraging radon testing in homes and schools.

High radon levels have been detected throughout the country, putting millions of people in danger. 

What gets even less attention, though, is the effect of radon on animals. 

If you own a pet, then you want to do everything that you can to protect it from harm. Pets are members of the family, and our pets spend a great deal of time inside the home. 

This means that they are vulnerable to any dangers that lurk in your home as well, which certainly includes radon gas.

Radon is a potential danger for everyone. Read our blog post: "Woman with Terminal Lung Cancer Urgest Ohio Schools to Test for Radon."

In the article below, we will take a look at the effect radon gas has on our pets, and more specifically, our cats and dogs.

Once you've discovered your home has elevated levels of radon, you need to have a radon mitigation system installed.

But once your mitigation system is installed, how much maintenance is required?

In this post, we'll cover general visual inspection and maintenance tips you can do as a homeowner to check and maintain your radon system.
