Radon Gas Testing or Mitigation in Syracuse, Ithaca & Binghamton NY
Radon is an odorless, colorless, and flavorless radioactive gas. It is naturally produced by the breakdown of uranium in the ground. If radon gas is not confined, it is diluted and does not become a threat. However, if radon gas makes it into closed spaces like your home, it will build up and become a serious health risk.
The Dangers of Radon Gas
There are many entry points radon gas can take to get inside your home. The most common entryways include:
- Cracks found in foundation walls and floor slabs
- Construction joints
- Support posts
- Floor drains
- Sumps or wall cavities
- Dirt floors
- Window casements
- Gaps around service pipes
- Radon can also make its way through solid concrete floors and walls over time
Since it is impossible to detect radon gas with the senses, 
it is difficult to know how much gas there is in your home. Being exposed to too much radon can generate a multitude of health problems, with lung cancer being the most dangerous. Radon gas is the number one cause of lung cancer for non-smokers and second in the overall leading cause. According to the EPA, radon kills about 21,000 people every year, and 2,900 of those people do not smoke.
