Infographic: Is Your Home Safe From Radon?

Last Updated: January 2015 1 min read

In honor of Radon Awareness Month, we bring you a great infographic from the folks at RadonIsReal.org. This infographic highlights the dangers of radon with statistics on annual deaths and how radon exposure affects your body. In addition, it tells you where Radon comes from and how it can enter your home.

Finally, this infographic debunks some common myths related to radon, like the following:

  • Radon is only a problem in homes with basements
    • False – Any style home can have elevated radon levels
  • It’s too expensive to fix a radon problem
    • False – Radon Mitigation systems are one of the least expensive repairs to a home

As always, if you are concerned about Radon in your home, contact a local contractor to find out and sleep better at night.
