The Importance of Radon Testing and Mitigation

Radon, a colorless, odorless radioactive gas, poses a serious health risk as it can accumulate indoors without detection. While radon may not be present in one property, neighboring homes can still have elevated levels due to differences in soil composition and building structures. In the U.S., radon exposure is the second leading cause of lung cancer after tobacco smoking, contributing to around 21,000 deaths each year. This threat becomes even more dangerous for individuals with existing respiratory or health risks, as radon is continuously inhaled while spending time indoors.

Radon levels can fluctuate within the same property due to factors such as:

  • Seasonal Changes: Radon levels tend to be higher in winter as windows and doors are kept closed, reducing ventilation.
  • Soil Composition: Variations in soil and rock under and around homes can affect radon seepage.
  • Building Age and Condition: Older homes or those with foundation cracks can allow more radon gas to enter.
  • Ventilation: Poor ventilation systems in basements and lower levels can trap radon inside.

Due to these risks, radon falls under environmental concerns, which cannot be easily waived in real estate transactions. If elevated radon levels are detected, the property should undergo professional mitigation. Licensed mitigation companies charge between $1,200 and $3,000, depending on the property’s structure and radon levels. It is critical that mitigation systems are effectively installed and maintained, as radon must be continuously managed to ensure a safe indoor environment.

By investing in radon testing and, if needed, mitigation, homeowners and buyers can protect themselves and their families from long-term health risks associated with radon exposure.
