What is Radon Gas?

Understanding the invisible threat in your home

The Silent Killer

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.

How Radon Enters Your Home

  • Cracks in concrete slabs and basement floors
  • Gaps in suspended floors and around service pipes
  • Cavities inside walls and construction joints
  • Well water and building materials

Radon Risk in Minnesota

Why radon testing is crucial for Minnesota homeowners

High Risk Zone

Minnesota is located in EPA Zone 1, the highest risk category for radon exposure. Many areas of the state have elevated radon levels.

Geological Factors

Minnesota's granite bedrock and glacial deposits create ideal conditions for radon gas formation and accumulation.

Climate Impact

Minnesota's cold winters create stack effect, drawing more radon gas into homes through foundation cracks and openings.

Radon Mitigation Options

Solutions for reducing radon levels in your home

Sub-Slab Depressurization

Most common and effective method. A pipe and fan system draws radon from beneath the foundation and vents it safely outside.

Sealing & Caulking

Sealing cracks and openings in the foundation can help reduce radon entry, though rarely effective alone.

Ventilation Systems

Increased ventilation can help dilute radon levels, particularly effective in basements and crawl spaces.
