What do the radon test results mean?
Radon test results typically show a measurement in picocuries per liter (pCi/L). The lower the level, the safer it is. Levels below 2 pCi/L are generally considered safe, but it's important to note that per the EPA there is no known completely safe level of radon exposure.
Cautionary levels
The EPA recommends taking action if radon levels in your home are at or above 4 pCi/L. At this level, it's advisable to consider radon mitigation measures to reduce exposure.
Where is the radon gas coming from?
As a crawl space company dedicated to the well-being of our customers, we understand your concerns about radon gas and its potential health implications. You may be wondering where this invisible threat originates. Typically, radon gas seeps into your home from the ground below, but it can also find its way indoors through building materials like granite countertops.
New construction homes
It's essential to recognize that even in new construction homes, radon levels can be a concern. That's why we advocate for testing radon levels in all homes, regardless of their age or construction status. Safeguarding your family's health should always be a top priority, and radon testing is a crucial step in achieving that peace of mind.
