November is typically lung-health month, often including discussions on radon gas. I’ve been talking about radon gas and its effects on homeowners’ health for many years, and we still need to keep the conversation going. So, I thought I’d review some highlights to help educate homeowners because many still don’t know about radon or even think about it.
Radon is a radioactive gas that’s naturally occurring. It’s formed when uranium in the ground breaks down and seeps into the soil. From there, it can make its way into your home through soil, pipes, windows, sump pumps, unfinished floors, crawl spaces, cracks in foundation walls, and floors.
