EPA's Home Buyer's and Seller's Guide to Radon

Here you will find the information needed to make the very important decision to test for radon gas. The EPA has recommended that all homes be tested for radon. More and more people are finding that a good time to do this is during the purchase or sale of a home. Protecting yourself against radon can be done at a very low cost, especially when compared to the cost of ill health it can cause you and your family. The Surgeon General of the United States has issued a Health Advisory warning Americans about the health risk from exposure to radon in indoor air.

From the Iowa Department of Public Health - Radon Program website:

"Radon is the second leading cause of lung cancer, and the Iowa radon survey has indicated that Iowa has the largest percentage (or 71.6%) of homes above the US Environmental Protection Agency standard of 4pCi/L than any other state."

Radon is a tasteless, odorless, colorless, radioactive gas that occurs naturally in soil and rock, but it can leak into our homes through openings in the foundation floor or walls. Breathing elevated levels of radon for long periods of time can increase one’s risk of contracting lung cancer, and radon is believed to be the second leading cause of lung cancer in the United States. Only smoking causes more lung cancers.

Radon levels vary from home to home, and the only way to know if your home has a problem is to test. So take the first step. See the homebuyer video (about 9 minutes), check out the other pages here, and then call us for a test.
