Dundalk Radon Testing

What to Know About Radon Gas?

Radon is a Class A cancer-causing chemical. It is scientifically proven to lead to lung cancer in people.

38%+ of houses in the Dundalk area have a radon level near or above the actionable level.

Radon gas seeps out of the topsoil, not the building. No structure, new or old, is exempt from radon intrusion.

Each property interacts with the soil beneath it differently. This is part of the reason why houses next to each other have majorly different radon accumulation.

Radon gas accumulation will rise or fall every day and monthly within a reasonable range. A quick radon gas test measures a small period and is a dependable indicator of whether or not the land has a radon accumulation.

Radon has a lifespan of 3.8 days. This means that radon gas accumulation won’t be any greater if the structure is enclosed for days, months, or years.

How Does Radon Seep into your house?

No dwelling is sealed.

Gas can seep in through each grounded vent in the house such as sump pumps, plumbing, and minor cracks in the foundation.

The method to know with confidence the levels of radon in the property is to have a radon test.
