Myths About Radon

You cannot see, smell or taste radon. The only way to know is to test. Any home can have a radon problem-new homes or old homes-well insulated homes or drafty homes-homes with or without basements. Let’s clean up the myths about radon gas​.

 

Myth #1: Only basement homes have radon

Truth: All homes no matter whether crawl space, finished or unfinished basement or slab can have radon gas problems

Basement homes are more likely because they set closer to the bedrock

 

Myth #2: It’s expensive to have a radon gas problem fixed!

Truth: For about $800-$1200 a radon mitigation system can be installed

Radon gas is a lazy gas and can be vented out of the home

 

Myth #3: None of my neighbors have radon gas so I don’t either!

Truth: Whether or not your neighbor has radon has no effect on whether you do or not

Uranium decays in the ground under the home and puts off an odorless gas called radon

 

Myth #4: Radon gas testing levels are always the same in the 48 hour testing

Truth: Radon gas levels in the home fluctuate due to the laziness of the gas

High wind, rain or snow can drive radon back in the ground causing higher level in the home

 

Myth #5: Massachusetts is not at risk for radon gas

Truth: All of Massachusetts is in the moderate to hot zone for radon gas

Have your client order a radon gas test today and protect their family from the dangers of radon gas

 

Myth # 6: Our home is new we can’t have radon gas!

Truth: Old homes, new homes, drafty homes, and well-sealed homes all can have radon.

Testing is the only way to know if your home has a radon concern

 

NOTE: THE US EPA RECOMMENDS THAT YOU FIX YOUR HOME IF THE INDOOR RADON LEVEL IS 4.0 pCi/L OR HIGHER… How high is your Radon level?
