Radon, a leading cause of lung cancer, is responsible for up to 50 percent of lung cancers in non-smokers. It is a radioactive gas that seeps into your house through cracks and permeable foundation material. Any house can be susceptible to dangerous levels of radon, even though your neighbor's home might test low for radon; you still need to get your property checked. Radon exposure is hazardous, so it is important to know what to do if you test high for radon. If it turns out your house tests high for radon, it is important to have a radon mitigation system installed.

One major reason to engage a professional to lower your radon levels is that the health implications of radon exposure are profound. Prolonged exposure to radon can indeed be fatal. The best bet always is to choose professionals who are trained and have the experience to properly assess and mitigate the risk. The professionals can more effectively assess the areas radon could be entering your home. Their knowledge of the issue will yield a safer home for you and your family. Moreover, the mitigation systems must meet the local codes and safety standards to be useful. Professionals take care of ensuring your system is under all required regulations to ensure the best performance and safety.
