How does radon enter a home?

0

Radon, because it is a gas, is able to move through spaces in the soil and rock under a home’s foundation. When we operate the heating and cooling systems, it creates a negative pressure in the home that acts as a vacuum (suction) that pulls soil gases, including radon, into the lower level of the structure.
