Radon is an issue that often goes overlooked by people who are buying or selling a home. 

Though not often thought about, radon is an issue of critical importance. Actually, radon is the second leading cause of lung cancer in the United States. 

Radon is especially dangerous because you cannot smell, see, or taste it, making it difficult to detect. You must conduct a radon test to truly know whether your home contains high levels. 

Even homes right next to one another could see different results. It doesn’t matter if your next-door neighbor’s home doesn’t contain radon. Yours still could.

Radon is especially dangerous because you cannot smell, see, or taste it.

Radon seeps out through the ground and can become trapped in crawl spaces and basements. So if you own or are buying a home with these features, you need to test it. There are kits available for purchase at hardware stores or online. These at-home tests will give you an idea of the radon level in your home.

However, for exact results you need to hire a professional. If your home does test high, radon mitigation systems are also available and can be installed to remedy the problem.
