Radon Gas Test

Radon Gas Test

A radon gas test is a crucial step in ensuring the safety of your family. Many counties in New Mexico are known to have elevated levels of radon gas levels above what the E.P.A. considers to be safe. Radon is a colorless, odorless, and tasteless gas that naturally occurs from the decay of uranium in the soil. The granite in our soils can often be the source of the radon and is common in New Mexico.
Radon gas can seep into homes through cracks in foundations, walls, and floors. Whether the home has a basement, crawlspace, or a concrete slab, radon gas will enter the home. Long-term exposure to elevated radon levels has been linked to serious health risks, including lung cancer, and doubling the chance of lung cancer for smokers.

A radon gas test measures the levels of radon in the home to determine if it is above the E.P.A. standards.

If the test determines that high levels of radon are present in the home, a radon mitigation system can be installed. This system will reduce the levels of radon gas, making the home safer for the occupants.

By conducting a radon gas test, you are taking a proactive step to protect your family’s health. It provides peace of mind, ensuring that the home you’re purchasing is safe from this hidden danger.
