What is Radon?
Radon is a naturally occurring radioactive gas that forms when uranium in soil, rock, and water breaks down. It seeps into homes through cracks in foundations, gaps around pipes, and other openings. Because radon is invisible, odorless, and tasteless, the only way to detect it is through testing.
According to the EPA, radon is the second leading cause of lung cancer in the United States, responsible for approximately 21,000 deaths each year. Maine has particularly high radon levels due to its granite bedrock, making testing and mitigation essential for homeowners.
