Radon in Your Home? Here's What to Do About It

In this episode, I’m joined by radon mitigation expert Russ Davidoski to explore the vital topic of radon and its impact on your home and health. Russ breaks down what radon is, why it’s a concern, and how to protect your home through regular testing and professional mitigation systems.

Radon, a radioactive gas resulting from uranium decay in soil, is a serious health risk, especially when it accumulates indoors. Russ shares actionable tips, from DIY solutions like sealing basement cracks to installing professional mitigation systems, ensuring a safe and healthy living environment. Whether you’re a homeowner or in the process of selling your home, this episode offers valuable insights to safeguard your family’s health.

Key Takeaways:

• Radon Health Risks: Radon is a radioactive gas and the second leading cause of lung cancer after smoking.

• Regular Testing Is Essential: Homeowners should test for radon every six months to ensure levels are safe and systems are functioning properly.

• DIY Fixes and Professional Solutions: Sealing cracks and sump crocks can reduce radon levels, but high levels require a professional mitigation system.

• How Mitigation Systems Work: These systems use a radon fan and PVC piping to vent radon gas outside, offering a long-term solution when properly maintained.

• Ongoing Monitoring: Radon monitors help track levels consistently, providing peace of mind for homeowners.
