Over the last few years, radon has been called a major peril to our health by many scientists and news agencies. There is clear evidence that as many as 21,800 deaths occur annually from this deadly gas. There is a mounting problem of awareness, as there is just way too high a percentage of the population that has never even heard the term "Radon".

Over the years every time radon related blips and blurbs are aired on radio and TV, and written about in newspapers and magazines, the EPA becomes simultaneously overwhelmed with phone calls. There is no more uncertainty regarding radon as a major public health issue. The fact is we all need to test and get the problem fixed if necessary. We are very fortunate that radon can in almost all case be mitigated to a level that is not considered unsafe.

It is safe and easy to test your home with a test kit or electronic detector.

Test your home for Radon today!
