HOW CAN RADON ENTER MY HOME?

How Can RADON Enter My Home?

RADON is a colorless, odorless, and tasteless radioactive gas that results from the natural decay of uranium in the soil and rock beneath your home.

It can seep indoors through small cracks and openings wherever your home is in contact with the ground.




🏠Common Entry Points

RADON can enter through:

  • Cracks in foundations or floor slabs
  • Gaps around pipes, sumps, or support posts
  • Construction joints and floor drains
  • Unsealed spaces inside walls or around utilities
    Once inside, it can accumulate in basements or lower levels with poor ventilation.




💧RADON in Water

RADON can also dissolve in groundwater, especially from private wells.
When water is used for showers or washing, RADON can be released into the indoor air.
However, the main source of RADON in most homes is the soil, not the water.




🌡️Why Levels Differ

Every home has some RADON, but levels can vary widely depending on:

  • Soil type and uranium content
  • Foundation condition
  • Air pressure, ventilation, and weather




Because so many factors affect RADON, you can’t predict the level - the only way to know is to test.
