January is Radon Action Month: Safeguard Your Home and Health
January is designated as Radon Action Month, a critical time to raise awareness about radon, an invisible and odorless gas that is the second leading cause of lung cancer in the United States. Apex Radon Solutions is dedicated to educating homeowners about the risks of radon and the vital importance of testing and mitigating this hazardous gas.
What is Radon?
Radon is a radioactive gas that naturally occurs from the breakdown of uranium in soil, rock, and water. It seeps into homes through cracks and other openings in the foundation and, when trapped indoors, can accumulate to dangerous levels. Because you can't see, taste, or smell radon, it is essential to test your home to determine if radon is present.
Why Radon Action Month Matters
Radon Action Month encourages action against radon in residential areas. This initiative not only promotes health and safety but also supports homeowners in making informed decisions about radon mitigation, potentially increasing property values and ensuring a safer living environment.
Testing for Radon
Testing for radon is simple and affordable. Apex Radon Solutions offers both short-term and long-term radon testing kits that are easy to use and provide accurate results. January, with its colder weather causing closed windows and doors, is an ideal time for testing as it typically represents the condition when the highest radon levels occur.
Mitigation Solutions
If your radon levels are found to be at or above the EPA action level of 4 pCi/L, it’s crucial to take steps to reduce it. Our certified radon mitigation professionals at Apex Radon Solutions can design and install a mitigation system tailored to your home's specific needs. Our systems not only reduce radon levels but also improve indoor air quality.
