How Radon Enters Your Home
Radon is a naturally occurring radioactive gas that can seep into your home without you even realizing it. It forms when uranium in soil, rock, and water breaks down and releases radon gas into the air. Because radon is colorless, odorless, and tasteless, it can accumulate inside your home without any obvious signs.
Common Entry Points for Radon
Cracks in the Foundation
Tiny cracks in your basement floor or walls allow radon to seep inside.
Gaps Around Pipes and Wires
Openings where pipes, electrical wiring, or sump pumps enter your home, can act as pathways.
Crawl Spaces and Dirt Floors
Homes with crawl spaces or exposed soil are particularly vulnerable.
Well Water Supply
If your home uses well water, radon can dissolve in the water and be released into the air when you shower or do dishes.
Construction Joints
Spaces between concrete slabs and foundation walls can let radon in.
Why It’s a Concern
Once radon enters your home, it can build up to dangerous levels, especially in lower levels like basements and crawl spaces. Long-term exposure is a leading cause of lung cancer, making radon testing and mitigation crucial for home safety.
How to Protect Your Home
The only way to know if your home has high radon levels is through testing. If levels are elevated, professional mitigation systems can help reduce radon and keep your indoor air safe.
