As the crisp air rolls in and windows shut tight for the cooler months, homeowners unknowingly create the perfect conditions for radon gas to accumulate indoors. Fall is more than just pumpkin spice season, it’s also the ideal time to test your home for radon.

Why Fall?

• Closed windows and doors = less ventilation. Radon gets trapped inside.
  
  

• Stable temperatures = more accurate radon readings.
  
  

• Fall is a sweet spot before the holidays and heavy snow hits.
  
  

What is Radon Again?

Radon is a colorless, odorless radioactive gas that seeps from the ground and can enter homes through cracks in the foundation. Long-term exposure can lead to lung cancer, and the EPA considers radon the second leading cause after smoking.

How to Test

• Professional testing is easier and gives you quicker results.
  
  

• If levels are 4.0 pCi/L or higher, mitigation is highly recommended.
  
  

Final Word

Don’t wait for symptoms to appear. Protect your family now by scheduling a radon test this fall.
