Radon is a naturally occurring, odorless, colorless gas that can enter a home through cracks, gaps, crawl spaces, slab openings, and foundation penetrations. The only way to know if a home has elevated radon levels is to test. The EPA recommends mitigation when radon levels are 4.0 pCi/L or higher and says homeowners may also consider reducing radon levels between 2.0 and 4.0 pCi/L. |

How Radon Enters a Home
Radon Starts in the Soil
Radon gas forms naturally underground and can move upward through soil. Once it reaches the home, pressure differences can pull radon into the structure.
Radon Enters Through Openings
Small cracks, gaps, and penetrations in the foundation can allow radon gas to enter the home.
Radon Can Accumulate Indoors
Once inside, radon can collect in lower levels, crawl spaces, basements, and living areas, especially when ventilation is limited.
Radon Testing Provides Answers
A professional radon test measures radon levels and helps determine whether further evaluation or mitigation should be considered.
