What’s Radon, Anyway?
Think of Radon like a party crasher; they weren’t invited and have changed the whole vibe of the festivity. Just like a party crasher, you want to get Radon out of your home as soon as you realize it’s there!
Radon is a fairly common and easily managed situation, should you find that your home has high levels. Radon is a naturally occurring gas that can seep into your home from the ground, whether you have a basement or a slab foundation. Radon is odorless and colorless, so you won’t know it’s there without proper testing and long-term exposure to high radon levels is a leading cause of lung cancer.
Radon Testing in Maryland ensures your home is a safe, healthy space for you and your family.
