You vacuum.
You wipe down dust.
You even change your air filters every season like the responsible adult you are.
But despite all that, there’s something you can’t clean with a filter or scrub away with vinegar:
Radon.
This invisible gas could be building up in your home—and no matter how fresh your air smells, you won’t know it’s there unless you test for it.
What Is Radon, and Why Should You Care?
Radon is a naturally occurring radioactive gas that forms when uranium breaks down in soil and rock beneath your home. It seeps through:
- Cracks in the foundation
- Sump pump openings
- Crawlspaces
- Gaps around pipes or drains
And once it’s inside? It accumulates quietly—especially in basements and first floors—posing a health risk you can’t see or smell.
The Problem: Clean Doesn’t Mean Safe
You can:
- Replace HVAC filters
- Use air purifiers
- Diffuse essential oils
- Deep clean once a week
But none of these steps detect or remove radon.
It’s not about dirt—it’s about radiation. And your family’s lungs are exposed 24/7 without you even realizing it.
Radon Exposure = Silent Risk
Radon is the second leading cause of lung cancer after smoking.
And here’s the scary part: you don’t have to be a smoker to be at risk.
Even at low levels, long-term radon exposure can cause irreversible damage.
“I didn’t even know about radon until my home inspector mentioned it. We’d been living there for five years.”
— Homeowner, Columbia, SC
How Do You Know If Radon’s a Problem in Your Home?
Short answer:
You don’t—unless you test.
Radon levels vary by:
- Location
- Soil composition
- Season
- Ventilation
- Home construction type
Two homes on the same street can have completely different readings. That’s why the EPA recommends every home be tested, regardless of age or region.
DIY vs Professional Testing
DIY kits can give you a rough estimate, but:
- Many require mailing results and waiting weeks
- Accuracy depends on how precisely you follow the steps
- Some don’t include lab fees
Professional testing from EnviroPro 360 offers:
- Fast results in 48–72 hours
- High-precision digital monitors
- Certified reports (great for buying/selling homes)
- Peace of mind you can’t put a price on
When Should You Get Tested?
📌 You’ve never tested your home
📌 You’re moving into a new home or apartment
📌 You spend time in a basement, home office, or den
📌 Your home has a crawlspace or slab-on-grade foundation
📌 You’re serious about indoor air quality
Protecting Your Home Is Easier Than You Think
Testing is quick, affordable, and non-invasive. If your levels are safe—great! If they’re not, radon mitigation systems can be installed in just a few hours and bring levels down dramatically.
It’s a simple fix to a potentially life-threatening issue.
Be Just as Clean Below the Surface
Changing your air filters is great. Keep doing it.
But don’t stop there.
You wouldn’t clean your fridge and ignore spoiled food.
You wouldn’t wash your sheets and sleep with the window open in a storm.
So why treat radon any differently?
