Radon is an invisible, odorless radioactive gas and the #2 cause of lung cancer in the U.S. Roughly 1 in 3 Ohio homes test at or above the EPA action level.
Radon forms naturally as uranium in soil and rock breaks down, then seeps into homes through foundation cracks and openings. You can't see it, smell it, or taste it — the only way to know your level is to test.
#2 Cause of Lung Cancer
Radon is the leading cause of lung cancer among non-smokers, per the EPA.
1 in 3 Ohio Homes
Roughly a third of tested Ohio homes register at or above 4.0 pCi/L.
Only Testing Reveals It
Radon is invisible and odorless — a 48-hour test is the only way to know.
The Good News: It's Fixable
Elevated radon is one of the most solvable home-safety problems. A code-compliant mitigation system reliably brings levels below the EPA threshold — and we verify it with a post-install test.
- ✓Test first a 48-hour EPA-aligned measurement.
- ✓Mitigate if needed permanent sub-slab depressurization.
- ✓Verify post-mitigation re-test confirms the fix.
