How Do You Remove Radon Gas From A Home?
Radon is an odorless and tasteless gas that enters your house through openings in your foundation. It is emitted from uranium that decays in the soil. The only way to know if radon levels are elevated in your home is to do a radon test. Inhaling radon can cause lung cancer, so if the level of radon in your home is high, which is more than 4 picocuries per liter (pCi/L), the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) advises that you reduce it. Radon reduction systems can be installed that will reduce levels in your home by up to 99 percent. The cost for installing a radon reduction system can range from $800 to $2,500, depending on the layout and size of your house. Step 1 Test your home for radon.
