Think radon is only a homeowner’s problem? Think again.
Whether you own a home or rent an apartment, radon gas doesn’t discriminate. It seeps through foundations, cracks, pipes, and even sump pumps—silently putting your health at risk.
What Is Radon, and Why Should You Care?
Radon is a naturally occurring radioactive gas that you can’t see, smell, or taste. It’s the second leading cause of lung cancer in the U.S. after smoking. In areas like Augusta, Aiken, and across Georgia and South Carolina, radon levels can vary block by block, making testing essential for everyone—not just homeowners.
Why Renters Are at Risk Too
If you rent a house, basement apartment, or even a high-rise unit, you could be exposed to high levels of radon without knowing it. Landlords aren’t always required to test for radon, and many simply don’t. That means you have to advocate for your own health.
- Live on the lower floors? You’re especially vulnerable.
- Have children or spend a lot of time at home? Long exposure increases risk.
- Don’t know your building’s history? That’s a red flag.
What You Can Do as a Renter
- Ask your landlord if the property has ever been tested.
- Request a test or offer to cover one yourself—it’s affordable and could save your life.
- Check state regulations: Some areas recommend or require disclosure of radon levels in rentals.
