Radon Testing Mead

What is Radon Gas?

Radon gas is a common-place cancer-causing agent. It is well known to cause lung cancer in humans.

38%+ of houses in the Mead, CO area have a radon saturation at or above the dangerous limit.

Radon gas filters out of the silt, not the structure. No house, newly built or longstanding, is fully shielded from radon gas contamination.

Every home interacts with the soil beneath it uniquely. That is part of the reason why houses next to others have radically different radon saturation.

Radon accumulation will change on different days and with the seasons within a normal range. A quick radon measurement measures a small period and a solid metric of whether or not the structure has radon gas accumulation.

Radon has a dangerous duration of about half of a week. That means radon accumulation will not be greater if the structure is sealed for years, months, or days.

How Does Radon Gas Filter into a home?

Surprisingly, homes are not entirely hermetically sealed.

Radon gas will infiltrate through every ground-facing gap in the property such as sump drains, pipes, and even minor imperfections in the concrete slab or foundation.

The way to know confidently the accumulation of radon gas in the structure is to run a radon test.
