Radon is a radioactive gas formed by the natural breakdown of uranium in soil and rock. It moves through the ground and can enter homes through small openings in the foundation.
Because radon is invisible and odorless, it can build up indoors without obvious signs. Long-term exposure is considered a significant health risk and is recognized as a leading cause of lung cancer among non-smokers.
Radon can enter through cracks in concrete, gaps around pipes, sump pits, unfinished crawlspaces, and other small openings near the foundation. Once inside, it can accumulate depending on airflow, ventilation, and how tightly the home is sealed.
Radon levels are not the same in every home. Soil composition, weather, foundation type, and air pressure differences all affect how much radon enters and remains indoors. Even neighboring homes can produce very different readings.
