IT'S A GREAT TIME TO TEST FOR RADON LEVELS

The winter month of February is a great month to reduce radon and raise the levels of clean, healthy air in your home. While you are creating the living conditions that keep yourself and your family healthy, we are working to raise lasting security in your home. Protecting your home against the harmful effects of radon is the most important step to take for lung health.

Why winter is a great time to test your home:

• Snow, ice, and colder weather create pressure for radon to escape the ground.

• Heaters are turned on and often pull more radon through the home or building, causing levels to rise.

• Turning up the heat during winter months also causes hot air to rise, and if it escapes your home, new air must enter. Some of that air will come from the soil and can introduce radon to your home.

• Winter usually yields the highest levels of radon!

• 

Radon levels are always changing. It is common to receive different results at different times, which is why it is important to consider testing or re-testing at this time of year. Many factors contribute to changes in air pressure inside and outside your home and can affect the radon levels.

Radon can cause lung cancer. Please take a moment today to reach out and ensure the health and safety of your home.
