Take Action During National Radon Action Month

January is National Radon Action Month. Radon is the leading cause of lung cancer in non-smokers. It can be found in homes, schools, offices, and other buildings. If you have not had your home checked for radon, now is the time. Radon is an odorless, colorless byproduct of uranium decomposition. Long-term, low exposure to radon can be detrimental to your family’s health.  Testing your home for radon is simple.

Test kits can be found in various home improvement stores and online. However, be leary as to what you are purchasing. While some test kits appear inexpensive, there are often hidden costs. Many test kits found in stores also require a lab fee and shipping costs. The price for a radon test kit at Woods Basement Systems includes the kit, shipping and lab fees. The fees are not the only difference. Many test kits on the market only measure the radon levels in a home once. Our test kits measure radon the radon levels in a home over a period of time for accuracy.

After your home has been tested for radon, Woods Basement Systems can install a radon mitigation system if needed. The installation of a mitigation system can typically be done in one day. The system reduces radon in the home providing your family with safe, quality air.
