Understanding the invisible threat in your home
Radon is a radioactive gas that occurs naturally from the decay of uranium in soil, rock, and water. It's colorless, odorless, and tasteless, making it impossible to detect without proper testing equipment.
According to the EPA, radon is the second leading cause of lung cancer in the United States, responsible for about 21,000 deaths annually. It can enter your home through cracks in floors, walls, and foundations.
Why radon testing is crucial for Minnesota homeowners
Minnesota is located in EPA Zone 1, the highest risk category for radon exposure. Many areas of the state have elevated radon levels.
Minnesota's granite bedrock and glacial deposits create ideal conditions for radon gas formation and accumulation.
Minnesota's cold winters create stack effect, drawing more radon gas into homes through foundation cracks and openings.

Sealing cracks and openings in the foundation can help reduce radon entry, though rarely effective alone.
Increased ventilation can help dilute radon levels, particularly effective in basements and crawl spaces.
