Experience that matters
Radon is a naturally occurring, radioactive gas that is invisible, odorless, and tasteless. It forms from the decay of uranium and radium in soil and rocks, and can enter buildings through cracks and openings in foundations.
Radon gas is dangerous and can be life-threatening. Long-term exposure to radon gas is estimated to kill 20,000 or more people per year. It is the leading cause of lung cancer among non-smokers. It is odorless, tasteless, and invisible. Testing is the only way to know if it is present.
Yes! Most home buyers are unaware of the dangers of radon gas even though it is known to be present in every county in Tennessee. Eastern and Middle Tennessee are the two regions the EPA considers radon to be the highest threat to homeowners.
An astronomical 1 in 15 homes in the us will test positive for radon levels above 4.0 pci. These results can be found in any county and in any state regardless of the radon map zone. The only way to know is to test!
