Radon Gas
HOMETRUTH PROPERTY INSPECTION & RESTORATION, LLC IS CERTIFIED IN RADON GAS DETECTION
Radon is a poisonous gas emitted by uranium, naturally present in our soil. It is colorless, odorless, radioactive and can seep through cracks in the foundation of your home. Radon will also contaminate water systems. Considered a carcinogen, home radon is the number one cause of cancer in non-smokers! The only way to safely detect the presence of radon is through a professionally trained radon inspector, like HomeTruth Property Inspection & Restoration, LLC. The EPA strongly recommends radon testing for all homes and structures regardless of geographic location. The map above and below display the three zones, which possess heightened levels of radon (Resource: orau.org).
The U.S. EPA and the U.S. Geological Survey have evaluated the radon potential in the U.S. and have developed this map is to assist National, State, and local organizations to target their resources and to assist building code officials in deciding whether radon-resistant features are applicable in new construction. This map is not intended to be used to determine if a home in a given zone should be tested for radon. Homes with elevated levels of radon have been found in all three zones.
All homes should be tested regardless of geographic location.
The map assigns each of the 3,141 counties in the U.S. to one of three zones based on radon potential. Each Zone designation reflects the average short-term radon measurement that can be expected to be measured in a building without the implementation of radon control methods. The radon zone designation of the highest priority is Zone One.
