Have you ever heard of radon? The name might ring a bell, but many homeowners don't know how common it is in homes throughout Central Iowa.
Radon is a gas in the soil that comes from a breakdown of uranium. It's a radioactive gas that can cause cancer if exposed to for a prolonged period of time. Unfortunately, Iowa is the number one state in the country for radon concentration. In fact, all 99 counties in Iowa are in the high-risk category!
If you get a test and find out that there are high radon levels in your home, what does that mean? Well, the EPA has established the level of 4.0 as the point at which action should be taken. If your home has a radon level of 4.0 or greater, you need to get radon mitigation, which is a venting system that is installed to lower radon levels. It's a simple pipe that only takes four hours to install and will protect the home from dangerous levels of the gas.
