Radon Testing

Radon is a colorless, odorless, tasteless radioactive gas that forms naturally in soil and rock. It enters homes through cracks, gaps, and openings in the foundation and the only way to know if your home has elevated levels is through proper testing.

Radon is a well-documented concern in East Tennessee because of the region’s bedrock and soil formations which include uranium baring carbonate rocks and shale. Radon gas releases from naturally occurring uranium decay products in these substrates and radon gas can seep into houses built here.

The U.S. Surgeon General warns that radon is the second-leading cause of lung cancer in the United States, and long-term exposure poses a serious health risk to families nationwide. This danger is completely preventable.
